Verse 1
C#m
An old cowpoke went riding out
E
one dark and windy day
C#m
Upon a ridge he rested
E
as he went along his way
C#m
When all at once a mighty herd
of red-eyed cows he saw
A
Went plowin' through the ragged skies
C#m
and up a cloudy draw
Verse 2
C#m
Their brands were still on fire
E
and their hooves were made of steel
C#m
Their horns were black and shiny
E
and their hot breath he could feel
C#m
A bolt of fear went through him
as they thundered through the sky
A
For he saw the riders comin' hard
C#m
and he heard their mournful cry

C#m
Ghost riders in the sky
Verse 3
C#m
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
E
their shirts all soaked with sweat
C#m
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd
E
but they ain't caught 'em yet
C#m
'Cause they've gotta ride forever
on that range up in the sky
A
On horses snortin' fire,
C#m
as they ride on, hear their cry

Verse 4
C#m
The riders loped on by him,
E
and he heard one call his name
C#m
"If you wanna save your soul from Hell,
E
a- ridin' on our range,
C#m
Then cowboy, change your ways today,
or with us you will ride
A
Tryin' to catch the Devil's herd
C#m
A- cross these endless skies"
