verse 1
Am C
An old cowboy went ridin' out one dark and windy day
Am
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
Am
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed steers he saw
F Dm Am C Am
A ploughin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
verse 2
Am C
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
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
C Am G
Yippie I ay Yippie I oh
F Dm Am
Ghost riders in, ghost riders in the sky

verse 3
Am C
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
Am
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'ain't caught 'em yet
Am
'Cause they've got to ride forever in the range up in the sky
F Dm Am
On horses snorting fire as they ride hard, hear them cry
C Am G
Yippie I ay Yippie I oh
F Dm Am G
Ghost riders in, ghost riders in the sky
F Dm Am
Ghost riders in the sky
