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]
