Verse 1
Am
An old cowboy went riding out
C
one dark and windy day
Am
Upon a ridge he rested
as he went along his way
Am
When all at once
a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
F
Plowing through the ragged sky
Dm
Am
and up the cloudy draw

Verse 2
Am
Their brands were still on fire
C
and their hooves were made of steel
Am
Their horns were black and shiny
and their hot breath he could feel
Am
A bolt of fear went through him
as they thundered through the sky
F
For he saw the riders coming hard
Dm
Am
and he heard their mournful cry
Chorus 1
C
Yippie yi ooh
Am
Yippie yi yay
F
Am
Ghost riders in the sky

Verse 3
Am
faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
C
their shirts all soaked with sweat
Am
He's riding hard to catch that herd,
but he ain't caught 'em yet
Am
'Cause they've got to ride forever
on that range up in the sky
F
On horses snorting fire
Dm
Am
As they ride on hear their cry
Verse 4
Am
As the riders loped on by him
C
he heard one call his name
Am
If you want to save your soul from hell
a-riding on our range
