verse 1 
  Am                             C 
An old cowboy went ridin' out 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 steers he saw 
 F                                      Dm          Am     C  Am 
A ploughin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw 

verse 2 
     Am                                  C 
Their brands were still on fire and their 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                                    Dm                   Am 
He saw the riders coming hard... and he heard their mournful cry 


        C           Am    G 
Yippie I ay Yippie I oh 
F              Dm                   Am 
Ghost riders in, ghost riders in the sky

verse 3 
     Am                                          C 
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat 
       Am 
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'ain't caught 'em yet 
              Am 
'Cause they've got to ride forever in the range up in the sky 
  F                            Dm                   Am 
On horses snorting fire as they ride hard, hear them cry 


        C           Am    G 
Yippie I ay Yippie I oh 
F              Dm                   Am    G 
Ghost riders in, ghost riders in the sky 
F              Dm   Am 
Ghost riders in the sky
