(Ghost) Riders in the Sky - Sons of the Pioneers chords
Start Jamming...
That old cowpoke went riding out [E] one dark and windy day
Up on a [C#m] ridge he rested as he went along his [E] way
[C#m] When all at once [A] a mighty herd of [C#m] red-eyed cows he saw
[A] Up low and through the ragged sky
[C#m] And up the cloud he draw
[E] Aye, if the [C#m] eye of
[A] the bull could [F#m] see [C#m] the sky
Their brands were still on fire and their clothes were made of steel
[E]
Their [C#m] horns were black and shiny [E] and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as he thundered through the sky
[A] For he saw the riders coming high
[F#m] And he heard their [C#m] mournful cry
[E] Aye, if the [C#m] eye of [E] the bull could [F#m] see the [C#m] sky
[C#m] As the riders looked on by him he [E] heard one call his name
If you want to [C#m] save your soul from [E] hell or riding on our way
[C#m] Let cowboy change your [A] ways today or [G#] with us you will ride
[A] I'd ride to catch the devil's herd
I'd [C#m] cross seas in the sky
[E] Riders, if the eye [C#m] of the [A]
[F#m] bull could see [C#m] the sky
[A#] [A] Oh, riders [F#m] in [C#m] the sky
[C#m] If the eye of the bull could see the sky
[G#] [C#m]
