"Ghost riders in the sky"
Em G
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
Em
Upon a ridge he rested as he went upon his way
Em (C/E) (A/E) (C/E)
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
C (Am) Em
coming through the ragged sky, and up a cloudy draw
CHORUS
G Em (D)
Yippe-ai-ay, yippee-ai-oh
C (Am) Em
Ghost herd in the sky
Em G
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Em
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
Em (C/E) (A/E)
A bolt of fear went through him as they rumbled through the
(C/E)
sky
C (Am) Em
Then he saw the riders coming hard, and he heard their mournful cry
chorus
Em G
Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweet
Em
Their riding hard to catch that herd but they aint caught them yet
Em (C/E) (A/E) (C/E)
for they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
C (Am) Em
as horses snorting fire, as they ride on hear their crys
chorus
Em G
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
Em
If you want to save your soul from hell, a riding on our range
Em (C/E) (A/E) (C/E)
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
C (Am) Em
Trying to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies
