[Bbm]
[Bb] An old cowboy went riding [Db] out one dark and windy day.
[Bb] Up on a ridge he rested [Bbm] as he went along his way.
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
[Gb] plowing through the ragged skies [Ebm] and up the [Bbm] cloudy draw.
Their brams were still on fire and their [Db] hooves were made of steel.
[Bbm] Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel.
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky.
[Gb] For he saw the riders coming hard [Eb] and he heard their [Bbm] mournful cry.
[Db] Yippee-aye-oh, [Bbm] yippee-aye -ay,
[Gb] ghost riders in [Bbm] the sky.
[Ab] [Db]

[Db] [Bbm]
Their faces gulped, their eyes were blurred, [Db] their shirts all soaked with sweat.
[Bbm] He's riding hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught them yet.
Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky.
[Gb] On a horse of snorting fire as [Eb] they ride on hear [Bb] their cry.
[Bbm] As the rider floped on by [Db] him he heard one call his name.
[Bbm] If you want to save your soul from hell riding on our range,
then cowboy change your ways, if they are [F] with us you will ride.
[Gb] Trying to catch the devil's herd across [Bbm] these endless skies.
[Db] Yippee-aye-oh, [Bbm] yippee-aye -ay, [Gb] ghost riders in [Bbm] the sky.
[Gb] Ghost riders in [Bbm] the sky.
[Gb] Ghost riders in [Bbm] the sky.
