[Verse 1]
   Bm                               D
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day;
 Bm                                 D
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
     Bm                               D            Bm
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
G                                    Bm
Plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw.
 
[Verse 2]
      Bm                                   D
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel,
      Bm                                    D
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel;
   Bm                                       D            Bm
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky,
    G                                 Bm
He saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry.
 
[Chorus]
Bm          D              Bm
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o
G            Em      Bm
Ghost riders in the sky
 
(Guitar Solo 1)
 
[Verse 3]
       Bm                           D
As the riders passed on by him, he heard one call his name;
        Bm                                   D
"If you want to save your soul from hell a' ridin' on our range,
      Bm                              D                Bm
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride,
G                                     Bm
Tryin' to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies."
 
[Chorus]
Bm          D              Bm
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o
G            Em      Bm
Ghost riders in the sky
 
(Guitar Solo 2)
 
[Verse 4]
      Bm
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
       D
Their shirts all soaked with sweat;
     Bm                                  D
He's ridin' hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet;
              Bm                           D               Bm
Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky,
   G                              Bm
On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear their cry.
 
[Chorus]
Bm          D              Bm
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o
G            Em      Bm
Ghost riders in the sky
G            Em      Bm
Ghost riders in the sky
G    Em    Bm
