ghost riders in the sky

[Intro]
Am
An old cowboy went ridin' out
C
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 cows he saw
F
Plowin' through the ragged skies
Am
And up a cloudy draw
Am
Their brands were still on fire
C
And their hooves were made of steel
Am
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
For he saw the riders coming hard
Am
And he heard their mournful cry
Am C
Yippie aye oh
Am
Yippie aye ay
F Am

Am
Their face's gaunt, their eyes were blurred
C
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
Am
He's ridin' hard to catch that herd
C
But he ain't caught 'em yet
Am
Cause they've got to ride forever
On the range up in the sky
F
On horses snorting fire
Am
As they ride on hear them cry
Am
As the riders loped on by him
C
He heard one call his name
Am
If you want to save your soul
C
From hell a-riding on our range
Am
Then cowboy change your ways today
Or with us you will ride
F
Tryin' to catch the Devil's herd
Am
Across these endless skies
Am C
Yippie aye oh
Am
Yippie aye ay
F Am
Ghost riders in the sky
