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