[C#m]
[E]
[C#m]
An old cowpoke went riding [E] out one dark and windy day
[C#m] Upon a ridge he rested [E] as he went along his way
[C#m] When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
[A] A-plowin' through the ragged skies [F#m] and up a [C#m] cloudy draw
[E]
[C#m]
[A]
The ghost herd [F#m]
in [C#m] the sky Their brands were still on fire [E] and their
hooves were made of steel [C#m] Their horns were black and shiny [E] and their
hot breath he could feel [C#m] A bowl of fear went through him as they thundered
through the sky [A] For he saw the riders comin' high
[F#m] And he heard their [C#m] mournful [G#] cry
[E]
[C#m]
[A]
[F#m] Ghost riders in [C#m] the sky Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred
[E] and shirts all soaked with sweat They're [C#m] ridin' hard to catch that herd [E] but
they ain't caught them yet [C#m] Cause they've got to ride forever on that
sky [A] On horses snortin' fire [F#m] as they ride [C#m] on hear
their cry Yippee [E]-yi-oh, yippee [C#m]-yi -oh
[A] Ghost riders [F#m] in [E] the sky
[C#m] As the riders loped on by [E] him he heard one
call his name If [C#m] you want to save your soul [E] from hell or
ridin' on a rein [C#m] Then cowboy change your ways today or with
us you will ride [A] A-tryin' to catch the devil's herd
[F#m] Across [C#m] these endless skies [E] Yippee-yi-oh, yippee-yi [C#m]-oh
[A]
Ghost [F#m] riders in [E] the sky Yippee-yi-oh
