Ghost Riders In The Sky

Dm

Dm

An

Dm

old cowboy went riding out one

F

dark and windy day

U

Dm

pon a ridge he rested as he went along his way

When

Dm

all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw

B

Plowin' through the ragged skies

And

Gm

up a cloudy

Dm

draw

Their

Dm

brands were still on fire and their

F

hooves were made of steel

Their

Dm

horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel

A

Dm

bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky

For he

B

saw the riders coming hard

And he

Gm

heard their mournful

Dm

cry

Yippee-ai-

F

ay

yippee-ai-

Dm

o

Ghost riders

Gm

Dm

Their

Dm

faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their

F

shirts all soaked with sweat

They're

Dm

ridin' hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught 'em yet

'Cause they've

Dm

have to ride forever on that range up in the sky

On

B

horses snortin' fire

As they

Gm

ride on, hear their

Dm

cry

As the

Dm

riders loped on by him, he

F

heard one call his name

If you

Dm

wanna to save your soul from hell, a ridin' on our range

Then,

Dm

cowboy, change your ways today or with us you will ride

B

Trying to catch the devil's herd

A

Gm

cross these endless

Dm

skies

Yippee-ai-
