[Dm]
An old cowpoke went riding out [F] one dark and windy day.
[Dm] Along a ridge he rested as he went along his way.
From a hall he'd lost a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw.
[Bb] Plowing through the ragged brush [Gm] and up the [Dm] plow he'd drawn.
Their brains were still on fire and [F] their hooves were made of steel.
[Dm] Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could see.
A bolt of fear went through him as he thundered through the [Bb] skies.
For he saw the riders coming hard and [Gm]
he heard their [Dm] mournful cry.
[F] Yippee-aye-ay, yippee-aye-ay, oh [Dm] yippee-aye-oh, yippee-aye-oh.
[Bb] [Gm] Those riders in [Dm] the sky.

faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, [F] their shirts all soaked with sweat.
[Dm] They're riding hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet.
Cause they'll have to ride forever on that range up in the sky.
[Bb] On horses snorting fire as [Gm] they ride on, hear [Dm] them cry.
As the riders looked on by him [F] he heard one call his name.
[Dm] If you want to save your soul from hell riding on our range.
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you [B] will ride.
[Bb] Trying to catch the devil's herd
[Gm] [Dm] across these endless skies.
Yippee-aye [F]-ay, yippee-aye-ay, oh yippee [Dm]-aye-oh.
[Bb] Those [Dm] riders [Gm] in [Dm] the sky.
