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

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

Verse 3
(A minor) faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
their (C major) shirts all soaked with sweat
He's (A minor) riding hard to catch that herd,
but he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've (A minor) got to ride forever
on that range up in the sky
On (F major) horses snorting fire
As they ride (D minor) on hear their (A minor) cry
Verse 4
As the riders (A minor) loped on by him
he heard (C major) one call his name
If you (A minor) want to save your soul from hell
a-riding on our range
Then (A minor) cowboy change your (A minorMaj7) ways today
or (A minor7) with us you will (A minor6) ride
(F major) Trying to catch the devil's herd,
across (D minor) these endless (A minor) skies
Chorus 2
Yippie yi (C major) ooh
Yippie yi (A minor) yay
(F major) Ghost riders in the (A minor) sky
(F major) Ghost riders in the (A minor) sky
(F major) Ghost Riders in the (A minor) sky
