Ghost Riders In The Sky

Am                            C
An old cowboy went riding 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                                 
Came rushing through the ragged 
   Dm            Am
sky and up the cloudy draw

[Chorus]

Am        C
Yippie yi yaaaaay
C         Am
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
F            Dm      Am
Ghost Riders in the sky

[Verse 2]
Am                                
Their brands were still on fire 
  C
and their hooves were made of steel
Am                                
Their horns were black and shiny 
  C
and their hot breath he could feel
Am
A bolt of fear went through him as 
they thundered through the sky
F                                 
he saw the Riders coming hard and 
   Dm                   Am
he heard their mournful cry


Continues after the ad
[Chorus]

Am        C
Yippie yi yaaaaay
C         Am
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
F            Dm      Am
Ghost Riders in the sky


[Verse 3]

Am                                
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were
          C
 blurred, their shirts all soaked 
with sweat
Am                                
He's riding hard to catch that 
   C
herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet
Am
'Cause they've got to ride forever 
on that range up in the sky
F
On horses snorting fire
        Dm                 Am
As they ride on hear their cry


[Chorus]

Am        C
Yippie yi yaaaaay
C         Am
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
F            Dm      Am
Ghost Riders in the sky
[Verse 4]

Am                               
As the riders loped on by him he 
C
heard one call his name
Am                                
If you want to save your soul from
      C
 Hell a-riding on our range
Am
Then cowboy change your ways today 
or with us you will ride
F                               
Trying to catch the Devil's herd, 
   Dm                   Am
across these endless skies


[Chorus]

Am        C
Yippie yi Yaaaaay
C         Am
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
F            Dm       C
Ghost Riders in the sky
F            Dm       C
Ghost Riders in the sky
F            Dm       C
Ghost Riders in the sky
