Capo 1
Am C AmAn old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day,
Am C AmUp - on a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
Am F AmWhen all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
Am F F AmPlowin' through the ragged sky, and up a cloudy draw,
Am C AmTheir brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel,
Am C AmTheir horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel,
Am F Am
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky,
Am F AmFor he saw the riders coming hard, and he heard their mournful cry.
Chorus:
C AmYippe-ai - oh, yippee-a i- ay, (Coyote Yip)
F AmGhost riders in the sky,
Break: One verse Instrumental Guitar & Banjo
Am C AmTheir faces gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweat
Am C AmHe's ridin' hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught them yet,
Am F AmCause they've got to ride for - ever on that range up in the sky,
Am F F AmAll horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear them cry.
Am C AmAs the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name,
Am C AmIf you want to save your soul from hell, a ridin' on our range,
Am FThen cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride,
Am F F AmTrying to catch the devil's herd, a - cross these endless skies.
Chorus:
C AmYippe-ai - oh, yippee-ai - ay, (Coyote Yip)
F AmGhost riders in the sky,
F AmGhost riders in the sky,
F Am 11 bars
Ghost riders in the sky, then fade
