Intro: 6 bars kandvlee@shaw.ca
/ Am / / C / Am / /
An / old cowboy went / riding out one / dark and windy / day, / /
/ Am / / C / Am / /
Up - / on a ridge he / rested as he / went along his / way, / /
/ Am / / F / Am
When / all at once a / mighty herd of / red-eyed cows he / saw,
Am / F / / / F / Am / / /
Plowin' through the / ragged sky, / / and / up a cloudy / draw, / / /
/ Am / / C / Am / /
Their / brands were still on / fire and their / hooves were made of / steel, / /
/ Am / / C / Am / /
Their / horns were black and / shiny and their / hot breath he could / feel, / /
/ Am / / F / Am
A / bolt of fear went / through him as they / thundered through the / sky,
/ Am / F / / / / Am / /
For he / saw the riders / coming hard, / / and he / heard their mournful / cry. / /
Chorus:
/ C / / / Am / /
Yippe-ai - / oh, / / yippee-a i- / ay, / / (Coyote Yip)
F / / / / Am / /
Ghost / riders / in / the / sky, / /
Break: One verse Instrumental Guitar & Banjo
/ Am / / C / Am
/ /
Their / faces gaunt, their / eyes were blurred, their / shirts all soaked with / sweat, / /
/ Am / / C / Am / /
He's / ridin' hard to / catch that herd but / he ain't caught them / yet, / /
/ Am / / F / Am
Cause they've / got to ride for - / ever on that / range up in the / sky,
/ Am / F / / / F / Am / / / /
All / horses snortin' / fire, / / as they / ride on, hear them / cry. / / / /
/ Am / / C / Am / / / /
As the / riders loped on / by him, he / heard one call his / name, / / / /
/ Am / / C / Am
If you / want to save your / soul from hell, a / ridin' on our / range,
/ Am / / F /
Then / cowboy change your / ways today or / with us you will / ride,
Am / F / / / F / Am / /
Trying to catch the / devil's herd, / / a - / cross these endless / skies. / /
Chorus:
/ C / / / Am / / /
Yippe-ai - / oh, / / yippee-ai - / ay, / / / (Coyote Yip)
F / / / / Am / / /
Ghost / riders / in / the / sky, / / /
F / / / / Am / / /
Ghost / riders / in / the / sky, / / /

I play this song using a G following the C in the first verse. If you pick out the notes there is a B in there. So by strumming the E,A,D and the G,B,E of the Am you are able to seperate the tone of the song to arrive with the B. Or not!
I use an E after the C in the second line and a G after F (instead of another F) on the fourth line. It's probably not how the song goes, but it should be.
