Ghost Riders In The Sky Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
An [Am]old cowboy went riding out
one [C]dark and windy day
[Am]Upon a ridge he rested
as he went along his way
When [Am]all at once
a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
[F]Plowing through the ragged sky
and [Dm]up the cloudy dr[Am]aw

[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 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 coming hard
and he [Dm]heard their mournful [Am]cry

[Chorus 1]
Yippie yi [C]ooh
Yippie yi [Am]yay
[F]Ghost riders in the [Am]sky

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][C]
[Am][Am]
[Am][Am][Am]
[F][F][Dm]
[Am][Am]

[Verse 3]
Their [Am]faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
their [C]shirts all soaked with sweat
He's [Am]riding hard to catch that herd,
but he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've [Am]got to ride forever
on that range up in the sky
On [F]horses snorting fire
As they [Dm]ride on hear their [Am]cry

[Verse 4]
As the [Am]riders loped on by him
he [C]heard one call his name
If you [Am]want to save your soul from hell
a-riding on our range
Then [Am]cowboy change your ways today
or with us you will ride
[F]Trying to catch the devil's herd,
a[Dm]cross these endless [Am]skies

[Chorus 2]
Yippie yi [C]ooh
Yippie yi [Am]yay
[F]Ghost riders in the [Am]sky
[F]Ghost riders in the [Am]sky
[F]Ghost Riders in the [Am]sky

[Outro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[Repeat and fade]
