Verso 1:

   Am                               G 
An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and lonely day,
 Am 
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
 Am                                                      G   F 
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
 F                                     C            Am 
a plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

            G                     Am       F       Am 
             W                     W

Verso 2:

      Am                                  G 
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
      Am 
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
   Am                                                              G   F 
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
 F                                      C                    Am 
He saw the riders coming hard... and he heard their mournful cry

            G                     Am   G   F       Am 
             W                     W

Verso 3:

     Am                                        G 
The faces gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweat
     Am 
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'aint caught 'em yet
     Am                                                       G   F 
'cause they've got to ride forever in the range up in the sky
  F                              C                   Am 
On horses snorting fire as they ride hard hear them cry

            G                     Am   G   F       Am 
             W                     W
