	  		Intro:  Am   

   Am                              C   
An old cowboy went ridin' 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                                    Am   
Plowin' through the ragged skies, and up a cloudy draw   

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

Am         C   
Yippie aye oh   
           Am   
Yippie aye ay   
F                   Am   
Ghost riders in the sky   


      Am                                         C   
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat,   
        Am                                 C   
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught 'em yet   
       Am   
'Cause they've got to ride forever in that range up in the sky   
   F                            Am   
On horses snorting fire, as they ride on hear them cry:   

       Am                         C   
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name:   
       Am                                 C   
"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                           Am   
Tryin' to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies."   

Am         C   
Yippie aye oh   
           Am   
Yippie aye ay   
F                   Am   
Ghost riders in the sky   
F                   Am   
Ghost riders in the sky   
F                   Am   
Ghost riders in the sky
