[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] Yippee-yi _ -yay, _ _ [Dm] yippee-yi-oh, _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] those riders _ in [Dm] the sky. _ _ _ _
An old cowpoke went riding [F] out one dark and windy day.
Yippee-yi-yay, _ _ _ [Dm] yippee-yi-oh, those riders in the sky.
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his _ _ way.
_ When all at once a mighty bunch of red-eyed cows he saw
[Bb] plowing through the ragged _ _ _ _ _ skies. _ _ _ _ _ _
And up [Dm] a cloudy draw, _ _ _ _
[F] Yippee-yi-yay, _ _ _ [Dm] yippee-yi _ -oh, _ _ _ _ [Bb] those _ riders in _ [Dm] the sky. _ _ _ _
The ranch was still on [F] fire and the hoofs were made of steel.
Yippee-yi-yay, _ _ [Dm] yippee-yi-oh, those riders in the sky.
Their horns were black and shiny and the hot breath he could feel.
_ _ _ _ A pole of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky.
He saw [Bb] the riders coming _ hard, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] and he heard them mournful cry. _ _ _
Yippee-yi-yay, _ _ _ yippee-yi-oh, _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ those riders _ _ in [Dm] the sky. _ _ _ _
Their faces gone, their eyes are [F] blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat.
Yippee-yi-yay, _ yippee-yi-oh, those riders in the sky.
[Dm] They're riding hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them _ yet.
_ _ Cause you gotta ride forever on that range up in the sky
[Bb] on horses snorting _ _ fire. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ As they ride on [Dm] hear their cry. _ _ _ _
Yippee [F]-yi _ [Dm]-yay, _ _ yippee-yi-oh, _ _ _ _ [Bb] those _ riders _ _ in the [Dm] sky. _ _ _ _
As the riders went on by and he [F] heard one call his name.
Yippee-yi-yay, _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ yippee-yi-oh, those riders in the sky.
If you want to save your soul from ever riding on a range, _ _ _ _ _
then cowboy change your way today or with it you will ride
[Bb] trying to catch the devil's herd _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] across the endless _ _ skies.
_ Yippee-yi _ -yay, _ [F] _ [Dm] yippee-yi-oh, _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] those riders _ _ [Dm] in the sky. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] Those riders _ in [F] the _ sky.
