Ghost Riders in the sky
 
[Verse 1]
 
Dm                                F
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
  Dm
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
     Dm
When all at once a mighty bunch of red eyed cows he saw
Bb                                 Gm          Dm
Plowing through the ragged sky and up a cloudy draw
 
Dm        F
Yippie yi yaaaaay
          Dm
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Bb           Gm      Dm
Ghost Riders in the sky
 
[Verse 2]
 
Dm                                        F
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
      Dm
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
  Dm
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
       Bb                                Gm                   Dm
For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry
 
Dm        F
Yippie yi yaaaaay
          Dm
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Bb           Gm      Dm
Ghost Riders in the sky
 
[Verse 3]
 
Dm                                                 F
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
     Dm
He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet
               Dm
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
   Bb
On horses snorting fire
        Gm                 Dm
As they ride on hear their cry
 
Dm        F
Yippie yi yaaaaay
          Dm
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Bb           Gm      Dm
Ghost Riders in the sky
 
[Verse 4]
 
Dm                               F
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
       Dm
If you want to save your soul from ever riding on our range
     Dm
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Bb                                Gm                 Dm
Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across the endless skies
 
Dm        F
Yippie yi yaaaaay
          Dm
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
 
[Outro]
Bb           Gm      Dm
Ghost Riders in the sky
Bb           Gm     F      Eb
Ghost Riders in the skkkkkkkkyyyyy
F            Eb
F            Eb
 
If you're a beginner, don't be put off by the Eb. Just slide a D up one fret
 and only play the G, B, and E strings.
