Verse 1
D 
Bm 
Em 
Bm 
An old
cowpoke went riding
D 
out one dark and windy day,
Bm 
Upon a ridge he rested as he
D 
went along his way,
Bm 
When all at once a mighty herd
of red- eyed cows he saw,
G 
Em 
A ploughin' thru the ragged skies
Bm 
And  up a cloudy draw.
D 
Bm 
Yippee- yi- ay, yippee- yi- o,
G 
Em 
Bm 
The ghost herd in the sky.

Verse 2
Bm 
Their brands were still on fire and their
D 
hooves wuz made of steel,
Bm 
Their horns wuz black and shiny
D 
and their hot breath he could feel,
Bm 
A bolt of fear went through him
as they thundered thru the sky,
G 
Em 
For he saw the riders comin' hard
Bm 
And he heard their mournful cry.
D 
Bm 
Yippee- yi- ay, yippee- yi- o,
G 
Em 
Ghost riders in  the sky.
Bm

Their faces gaunt their eyes
D 
were blurred and shirts all soaked
with sweat,
Bm 
They're ridin' hard to atch that herd but
D 
they ain't caught them yet
Bm 
'Cause they've got to ride forever
on that range up in the sky,
G 
Em 
On horses snortin' fire
Bm 
As they ride on, hear their cry.
D 
Bm 
Yippee- yi- ay, yippee- yi- o,
G 
Em 
Bm 
Ghost riders in  the sky.

Verse 4
Bm 
As the riders loped on by him he
D 
heard one call his name,
Bm 
"If you want to save your soul from
D 
hell a- riding on our range,
Bm 
Then cowboy change your ways today
or with us you will ride
G 
A- try'ng to catch the devil's herd
Em 
Bm 
Across these endless skies."
D 
Bm 
Yippee- yi- ay, yippee- yi- o,

The ghost herd in the sky.
