[Bb] An old cowboy went riding out [Db] one dark and windy day.
[Bb] Up on a ridge he [Bbm] rested as he went along his way.
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
[Gb] plowing through the ragged skies and up a [Bbm] cloudy draw.
Their brands were still on fire and their [Db] hooves were made of steel.
[Bbm] Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel.
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky.
[Gb] For he saw the riders coming hard and he [Eb] heard their [Bbm] mournful cries.
[Db] Yippee, aye, oh!
Yippee, [Bbm] aye, oh!
[Gb]
Ghost riders in the [Bbm]
sky.
[Ab] [Db]
[Bb] [Db] [Eb] [Bbm]
[Gb]
[Bbm] [Bbm]
Their faces gaunt, their eyes are blurred, [Db] their shirts all soaked with sweat.
[Bbm] He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught them yet.
Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky.
[Gb] On horses snorting fire [Ebm] as they ride on hear [Bbm] their cry.
As the rider floated on by him he [Db] heard one call his name.
[Bbm] If you want to save your soul from hell riding on our range,
then cowboy change your ways, today our wheeler you will [Gb] ride.
Trying to catch the devil's herd [Bbm] across these endless skies.
[Db] Yippee, aye, oh!
Yippee, [Bbm] aye, oh!
[Gb]
Ghost riders in [Bbm] the sky.
[Gb]
Ghost riders in the [Bbm]
sky.
[Gb]
Ghost riders in [Bbm] the sky.
