Capo on 2nd fret: Am G An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and lonely day, Am Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way Am G When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw F Dm Am a plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw G Am F Am Verse 2----------------------------------------------------------------- Am G Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel Am Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel Am G A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky F Dm Am He saw the riders coming hard... and he heard their mournful cry { Chorus:}--------------------------------------------------------------- G Am F Am Yippie I ayy Yippie I Oooh Ghost Riders in the sky Verse 3------------------------------------------------------------------ Am G As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name Am If you want to save your soul from hell, a riding on our range Am G Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride F Dm Am Trying to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies { Chorus:}--------------------------------------------------------------- G Am F Am Yippie I ayy Yippie I Oooh Ghost Riders in the sky Verse 4------------------------------------------------------------------ Am G The faces gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweat Am, They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'aint caught 'em yet Am G 'cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky F Dm Am On horses snorting fire as they ride on hear them cry.
