[Verse]
Am
An old cowboy went riding out
C
one dark and windy day
Am
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
A-plowing through the ragged sky
Dm Am
and up the cloudy draw
[Verse]
Am
Their brands were still on fire and their
C
hooves were made of steel
Am
Their horns were black and shiny

and their hot breath he could feel
Am
A bolt of fear went through him

as they thundered through the sky
F
For he saw the Riders coming hard
Dm Am
and he heard their mournful cry
[Chorus]
Am C
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
C Am
Yippie yi yaaaaay
F Dm Am
Ghost Riders in the sky

[Verse]
Am
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
C
their shirts all soaked with sweat
Am
He's riding hard to catch that 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
[Verse]
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

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]

Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Yippie yi Yaaaaay
