Riders In The Sky (A Cowboy Legend) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]An [Am]old cowboy went riding out
one [C]dark and windy day
Up [Am]on a ridge he rested
as he went along his way
When all at once
a mighty herd of red -eyed cows he saw
Flow[F]in' through the ragged skies
and [Dm]up the cloudy dr[Am]aw
Their brands were still on fire
and their [C]hooves were made of steel
Their [Am]horns were black and shiny
and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him
as they thundered through the sky
For he [F]saw the riders coming hard,
and he heard [Dm]their mournful [Am]cry
Yippee -aye [C]-oh, yippee -aye [Am]-ay
[F]Ghost riders in the [Am]sky[G]
[C][Am][F]
[Dm][Am]
Their faces gaunt,
their eyes are blurred,
[C]Their shirts all soaked with sweat.
He's [Am]ridin' hard to catch that herd,
But he ain't caught him yet.
Cause they've got to ride forever
On that range up in the sky.
All [F]the horses snortin' fire
As they ride [Dm]on, hear [Am]their cry
As a rider floatin' on by him
He heard [C]one call his name
If you [Am]wan na save your soul from hell
Ridin' on our range
Then cowboy, change your ways
If they are with us, you will ride
Try[F]in' to catch the devil's herd
[Dm]Across these endless [Am]skies
Yippee -aye [C]-oh
Yippee [Am]-aye -ay -ay -ay
[F]Ghost riders in the [Am]sky
[F]Ghost Riders in the [Am]sky
[F]Ghost Riders in the [Am]sky

[Outro 1]
[Am]
