Intro: Am
Am C
An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and windy day,
Am C
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
Am
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
F Am
Come rushin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw.
Am C
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Am C
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breaths you could feel
Am
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
F Am
For he saw the riders coming hard... and he heard their mournful cry
Am C
Yippie aye oh
Am
Yippie aye ay
F Am
Ghost riders in the sky.
Am C
Their face's gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweat
Am C
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'aint caught 'em yet
Am
'Cause they've got to ride forever in the range up in the sky
F Am
On horses snorting fire as they ride hard hear them cry
Am C
As the riders leaned on by him he heard one call his name
Am C
If you want to save your soul from hell a riding on our range
Am
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
F Am
Tryin' to catch the Devil's herd... a-cross these endless skies.
Am C
Yippie aye oh
Am
Yippie aye ay
F Am
Ghost riders in the sky
F Am
Ghost riders in the sky
F Am
Ghost riders in the sky.
