_ [B] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [Abm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
An old cup opened right [B] now one dark and windy day.
_ _ [Abm] Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way. _ _ _
When all at once [E] a mighty herd [F] of red-eyed [B] cows he saw
[E] About the ragged [Dbm] _ skies [Abm] and up a cloudy draw.
_ B-P-I-O, B-P-I-A, B-P-I-O, B-P-I _ -O.
_ [E] _ _ _ [Dbm] Goat herd in the [Abm] sky. _ _ _ _
The branch was still on fire [B] and the hooves was made of steel.
_ _ [Abm] The horse was black and shiny and a hot breath he could feel. _ _ _
A bolt of fear [E] went through him as [Fm] they [B] thundered through the sky.
[Abm] For he saw the riders coming [Dbm] hard _ and [Abm] he heard their mortal [G] _ cry.
[Abm]
B-P-I-O, B-P-I-A, _ _ B-P-I-O, B-P-I-O.
[E] _ _ _ [Dbm] Those riders in [Abm] the _ sky. _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Their faces gone, their eyes were blurred [C] and their souls soaked with sweat.
_ _ _ [Am] They're riding hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught him yet. _ _ _
Cause they gotta ride forever on that range up in the sky.
And horses snorting [F] fire _ _ [Am] as they ride on hear their _ cry.
B [G]-P-I-O, B-P-I-A, [Am] B-P-I-O, B-P-I-O.
_ [F] Those _ riders in _ [Am] the sky. _ _ _ _
The riders looked on by him, [C] he heard one call his name.
_ _ _ If you want [Am] to save your soul from hell or riding on our range. _ _ _
Then cowboy change your [Gb] ways today or with us you [C] will ride.
[F] And try to catch the devil's herd. _ _
[Am] Across the endless _ sky.
B-P [G]-I-O, B-P-I _ [Am]
-A, B-P-I-O, B-P-I-O.
_ [F] _ Those riders _ in the [Em] sky.
_ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ Those riders _ in the [Em] sky. _ _ _ _ _
