(Ghost) Riders In The Sky Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
An [Am]old cowpoke went riding out
one [C]dark and windy day
Up[Am]on a ridge he rested
as he [C]went along his way
When [Am]all at once a mighty herd
of red-eyed cows he saw
Went [F]plowin' through the ragged skies
and [Am]up a cloudy draw

[Verse 2]
Their [Am]brands were still on fire
and their [C]hooves were made of steel
Their [Am]horns were black and shiny
and their [C]hot breath he could feel
A [Am]bolt of fear went through him
as they thundered through the sky
For he [F]saw the riders comin' hard
and he [Am]heard their mournful cry

[Chorus 1]
Yippee- yi- [C]yay, yippee- yi- [Am]yo
[F]Ghost riders in the [Am]sky

[Verse 3]
Their [Am]faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
their [C]shirts all soaked with sweat
They're [Am]ridin' hard to catch that herd
but [C]they ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've [Am]gotta ride forever
on that range up in the sky
On [F]horses snortin' fire,
as they [Am]ride on, hear their cry

[Chorus 2]
Yippee- yi- [C]yay, yippee- yi- [Am]yo
[F]Ghost riders in the [Am]sky

[Verse 4]
The [Am]riders loped on by him,
and he [C]heard one call his name
"If you [Am]wanna save your soul from Hell,
a- [C]ridin' on our range,
Then [Am]cowboy, change your ways today,
or with us you will ride
[F]Tryin' to catch the Devil's herd
A- [Am]cross these endless skies"

[Chorus 3]
Yippee- yi- [C]yay, yippee- yi- [Am]yo
[F]Ghost riders in the [Am]sky
[F]Ghost riders in the [Am]sky
[F]Ghost riders in the

[Outro 1]
[Am](sky)[Am][Am][Am]
[Fade out]
