Ghost Riders In The Sky Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]An old cowpoke went riding out
one [C]dark and windy day
Upon [Am]a ridge he rested
as he went along his [F]way
[Am]When all at once
a mighty herd of red -eyed cows he [F]saw
A -plowin' through the ragged skies
And up a cloudy [Am]draw
Yippee -yi [C]-ay, yippee -yi [Am]-oh[F][Am]
The [F]ghost herd in [E]the [Am]sky
Their brands were still on fire
and their [C]hooves were made of steel.
Their [Am]horn was black and shiny,
and their [C]hot breath he could [F]feel.
[E]A pulse of fea[Am]r went
through him
[F]as they thundered through [Am]the sky,
[F]for he saw the riders coming hard,
[Dm]and he heard[Gsus4] their mourn[F]ful cry.[Am]
Yippee -yi [C]-yay, yippee -yi [Am]-yo.
Oh, [F]those flyers [Dm]in th[E]e [Am]sky.[C][Am][C]
[E][Am][F][Dm][E][Am]
[Bbm][Db]
They're rid[Bbm]ing hard to catch that herd,
but [Db]they ain't caught [Cdim]them yet.
[F]But they've [Bbm]got to ride forever
on that range up in the sky,
on [Ebm]horses scorched with fire.
As they [F]ride on, hear [Bbm]their cry
Riders looked on by him
and he heard one call his [Db]name
If you [Bbm]want to save your soul from hell
and ride it on our reins
Then cowboy, change your ways,
today or with us you will ride
Trying to [Gb]catch the devil's [Ebm]herd
Across [Bbm]these endless skies
Yippee -yi [Db]-yay,
yippee -yi [Bbm]-yo -o -o -o -o
[Gb]Ghostbird [Ebm]in the[F] sky[Bbm]
Yippee -y[Db]i -yay,
yippee -yi [Bbm]-yo -o -o -o
[Gb]Ghostbird [Ebm]in the[Absus4] sky[Db]
Ah! Siay[Bbm]a! Siy[Db]aya![Bbm][Db]
[Bbm]Siyaya! Siyaya!
