Riders In The Sky Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]An o[C]ld c[Am]owpoke went riding
out one [C]dark and windy day
Upon [Am]a ridge he rested
as he [C]went along his way
When [Am]all at once a mighty herd of
red- eyed cows he saw
[F]A'plowin' through the ragged
skies and up a [Dm]cloudy [Am]draw
Yi- pi- yi- [C]ay, Yi- [Am]pi- [F]yi- o
Ghost riders in the [Am]sky
Their brands were still on fire and their
[C]hooves were made of steel
Their [Am]horns wuz black and shiny
and their [C]hot breaths he could feel
A [Am]bolt of fear went through him as they
thundered through the sky
For he [F]saw the riders comin' hard and
he heard their [Dm]mournful [Am]cry
Yi- pi- [C]yi- ay, Yi- pi- [Am]yi- o
[F]Ghost riders in the sky[Am]
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and
[C]shirts all soaked with sweat
They're [Am]rid in' hard to catch that herd but
[C]they ain't caught them yet
They've [Am]got to ride forever
in that range up in the sky
On [F]horses snortin' fire,
as they ride on, [Dm]hear their [Am]cry
Yi- pi- yi- ay, [C]Yi- [Am]pi- yi- o
[F]Ghost riders in [Dm]the sky[Am]
As the riders loped on by him,
he [C]heard one call his name
"If you [Am]want to save your soul from
hell a' [C]ridin' on our range"
"Then [Am]cowboy change your ways
today or with us you will ride"
"A- [F]tryin' to catch the Devil's herd
across [Dm]these endless [Am]skies."
[C]Yi- pi- yi- ay, Yi- pi- [Am]yi- [F]o
Ghost riders [Dm]in the sky
[C]Ghost riders in the sky
