Ghost Riders In The Sky

	  		
Em                                   G  
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day 
  Em                         G               B7  
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way 
      Em  
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw 
   C                   Am              Em  
Aplowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw 
           G               Em   C      
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o 
     Am     Em 
Ghost riders in the sky 
      Em                                   G  
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel  
      Em                                   G                 B7  
Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel;  
   Em  
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sk,  
       C              Am                 Em  
For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry  
           G               Em   C           
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o 
     Am     Em 
Ghost riders in the sky.       
Em  
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred 
       G  
Their shirts all soaked with sweat     
        Em                                  G                        B7  
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet                
        Em  
They've got to ride forever in that range up in the sky, 
    C               Am            Em  
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o, ghost riders in the sky 
       Em                         G  
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name 
        Em                                   G            B7  
"If you want to save your soul from hell a' ridin' on our range 
      Em  
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride  
  C                   Am            Em  
Atryin' to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies.  
           G               Em   C           
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o 
     Am     Em 
Ghost riders in the sky 
C           Am      G
