An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested [G] as he went along his way
[Em] When all at [C] once a mighty herd [Em] of red-eyed cows he saw
[C] A-flowin' through [Am] the ragged skies [Em] and up a cloudy draw
[G] The
[Em]
[C] ghost herd in the [Em] sky
Their brains were still on fire and their hooves [G] were made of steel
[Em] Their horns were black and shiny and their hot [G] breath he could feel
[Em] A bolt of [C] fear went through them [Em] as they thundered through the sky
[Am] For he saw the riders coming hard and [Em] he heard their mournful cry
[G]
[Em] Ghost
[C]
riders in the [Em] sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were [G] blurred and shirts all soaked with sweat
[Em] They're riding hard to catch that herd but [G] they ain't caught him yet
[Em] Cause they got to [C] ride forever [Em] on that range up [G] in the sky
[C] On horses [Am] snorting flame and fire as [Em] they ride on here them cry
