[Verse]
Bbm                                   Db                
■   An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Bbm                                            
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
     Bbm                                              
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
Gb                             Ebm7              Bbm 
Plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw
                                          Db                       
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Bbm                                                                
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
                    Bbm                                          
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
                      Gb                                      Bbm
For he saw the riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry


[Chorus]
          Db 
Yippie yi ooh
          Bbm
Yippie yi yay
Gb                  Bbm
Ghost riders in the sky

[Verse]
                                                Db                          
Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweat
Bbm                                                            
He's riding hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught 'em yet
               Bbm                                            
'cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
Gb                     
On horses snorting fire
                           Bbm
As they ride on hear their cry
                                 Db                     
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
       Bbm                                                  
If you want to save your soul from hell ariding on our range
     Bbm                                                   
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Gb                                                    Bbm  
Trying to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies


[Chorus]
       Db    
Yippie yi ooh
          Bbm
Yippie yi yay
Gb                  Bbm
Ghost riders in the sky
Gb                  Bbm
Ghost riders in the sky
Gb                  Bbm F Bbm F
