Dm F Yippie yi yaaaaay
Dm Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Bb Gm Dm Ghost Riders in the sky [First Part]
Dm F An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Dm Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
Dm When all at once a mighty bunch of red eyed cows he saw
Bb Gm Dm Plowing through the ragged sky and up a cloudy draw
Dm F Yippie yi yaaaaay
Dm Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Bb Gm Dm Ghost Riders in the sky [Second Part]
Continues after the ad
Dm F Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Dm Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
Dm A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
Bb Gm Dm For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry
Dm F Yippie yi yaaaaay
Dm Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Bb Gm Dm Ghost Riders in the sky [Third Part]
Dm F Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
Dm He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet
Dm 'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
Bb On horses snorting fire
Gm Dm As they ride on hear their cry
Dm F Yippie yi yaaaaay
Dm Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Bb Gm Dm Ghost Riders in the sky [Fourth Part]
Dm F As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
Dm If you want to save your soul from ever riding on our range
Dm Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Bb Gm Dm Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across the endless skies
Dm F Yippie yi yaaaaay
Dm Yippie yi Ohhhhh [Ending]
Bb Gm Dm Ghost Riders in the sky
