Am C
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
Am C
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
Am C Am
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
F Am
A'plowin' through the ragged skies, and up a cloudy draw
C Am
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
F Dm Am
Ghost herd in the sky
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 C 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
C Am
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
F Dm Am
Ghost riders in the sky
Am C
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat
Am C
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet
Am C Am
They've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
F Am
On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear their cry
C Am
Yi-pi-yi-o, Yi-pi-yi-o
F Dm Am
Ghost riders in the sky
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' ridin' on our range"
Am C Am
"Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride"
F Am
"A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies."
C Am
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
F Dm Am
Ghost riders in the sky
C Am
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
