verse 1:
a C
An old cowpoke went riding out, one dark and windy day,
a C
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
a
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
F a
A plowin through the ragged skies, and up the cloudy draw.
verse 2:
Their brands were still on fire and their hoofs were made of steel.
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.
For as he saw the riders comin hard, and he heard their mournful cry
chorus:
C a
Yip-i-yi-ey, Yip-i-yi-o,
F d a
Ghost riders in the sky.
(change to b Cis Fis dis)
verse 3:
Their face is gaunt their eyes were blurred
their shirts all soaked with sweat.
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'aint caught 'em yet
cause they've got to ride forever in the range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire as they ride hard hear them cry
(chorus)
(change to h D G e)
verse 4:
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name,
If you want to save your soul from hell a ridin on the range,
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride,
A tryin' to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies.
(chorus)
G e D
Ghost riders in the sky.
