Am
An old cowboy went ridin’ out
C
one dark and windy day,
Am
at bolder ridge he rested
C
as he went along his way
Am
when all at once a mighty herd
F
driving through the ragged skies
Dm
Am
and up a cloudy draw.
C
Yipie, i, ay,
Am
Yipie i oh
F
Dm
Am
Ghost riders in the sky.
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 cut through him
F
For he saw the riders coming hard
Dm
Am
and he heard their mournful cry
C
Yipie, i, ay,
Am
Yipie i oh
F
Dm
Am
Ghost riders in the sky.
Am
As the riders loped on by him
C
he heard one call his name
Am
if you want to save your soul from hell
C
a riding on our range
Am
cowboy change your ways today
F
driving with the devils herd
Dm
Am
across this moonlit sky.
C
Yipie, i, ay,
Am
Yipie i oh
F
Dm
Am
Ghost riders in the sky.
Am
Their face was drawn their eyes were blurred
C
their shirts all soaked with sweat.
Am
He’s ridin’ hard to catch that herd
C
but he ‘aint caught ’em yet
Am
’cause they’ve all to ride forever
F
oh, the horses snortin’ fire
Dm
Am
as they ride hard hear them cry
C
Yipie, i, ay,
Am
Yipie i oh
F
Dm
Am
Ghost riders in the sky.
