Verse 1
Am 
C 
Am 
An old
cowpoke read right now
C 
one dark and windy day
Am 
Upon a   ridge he rested
C 
as he went along his way
Am 
When all at once
a mighty herd of red -eyed cows he saw,
F 
A -plowin' through the ragged skies,
Dm 
Am 
and up a cloudy draw,
C 
Yippee -ki -yay!
Am 
Yippee -ki -yay!
F 
Am 
The ghost heard in the sky,
Their brains were still on fire
C 
and their hooves were made of steel.
Am 
Their horns were black and shiny
C 
and their hot breath he could feel.
Am 
A bowl of fear went through him
as they thundered through the sky,
F 
for he saw the riders coming high.
Dm 
And he heard their mournful
Am 
E 
Am 
C 
cry.
Am 
F 
Am 
Ghost riders in the sky.
Their faces gaunt,
their eyes were blurred,
C 
and shirts all soaked with sweat.
Am 
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd,
C 
but they ain't caught them yet,
Am 
Cause they got to ride forever
on that range up in the sky.
F 
On horses snortin' fire,
Dm 
Am 
as they ride on hear their cry.
C 
Yippee -aye -oh!
Am 
F 
Dm 
Am 
Yippee -aye -oh!
As the riders float down by him,
C 
he heard one call his name.
Am 
If you want to save your soul from hell
C 
or ridin' on our reigns,
Am 
Then cow boy, change your ways today
or with us you will ride.
F 
Of trying to catch the devil's herd
Dm 
Am 
Across these endless skies
C 
Yippee -ki -yay
Am 
Yippee -ki -yay
Yippee -ki -yo
F 
Dm 
C 
Ghost riders in the sky
Yippee -ki -yay
Yippee -ki -yay
