And old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day.
Upon a ridge he rested [G] as he went along his way.
When all at once [C] a mighty herd [Em] of red-eyed cows [G] he saw,
[Am] a-plowin' through the riled skies.
[Em] And up a cloudy [G] draw,
[Em] [G]
[Em]
the [C] ghost herd in the [Em] sky.
Their brains were still on fire and their hooves were [G] made of steel.
[Em] Their horns were black and shiny and their [G] hot bread he could feel.
[Em] A bolt of [C] fear went through them [Em] as they thundered through the sky.

and [Em] he heard their mournful cry.
They're here, [G] I hope, [Em] they're here.

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, [G] and shirts all soaked with sweat.
[Em] They're ridin' hard to catch that herd, but [G] they ain't caught him yet.
[Em] Cause they got to [C] ride forever on [Em] that range up [G] in the sky.
[C] On horses [Am] snortin' flame and fire,
as [Em] they ride on hear them cry.

If [Em] you want to save your soul from hell [G] or ridin' on our range,
[Em] then cowboy [C] change your ways today [Em] or with us you [G] will ride.
[C] I'm tryin' to [Am] catch the devil's herd [Em] across these endless skies.
