Riders In The Sky Chords by Tom Jones

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ An old cowpoke went riding out [Bb] one dark and windy day _
_ [Gm] Upon a ridge he rested as he went [Bb]
along his _ way
_ [Gm] When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
[Eb] Them rush in through the ragged skies
_ [Gm] And up a cloud it drove
_ Yippee [Bb]-yi-yay!
_ _ _ _ Yippee [Gm]-yi-yay! _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
Those riders [Cm] in the _ [G]
sky
_ _ _ [Gm] _ Their brands were still on fire and their [Bb] hoofs were made of steel _ _
_ [Gm] Their horns were black and shiny and their [Bb] hot breath you could _ feel
_ [Gm] A boulder speed went through him as they thundered through the sky
[Eb] He saw the riders coming home
_ _ [Gm] And he heard the mournful _ cry
Yippee [Bb]-yi-yay!
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
Those riders [Cm] in _ [Gm] the sky
_ _ _ _ Their faces gaunt, their eyes were [Bb] blurred, their shirts all soaked in sweat _ _
_ [Gm] They're riding hard to catch that [Bb] herd but they ain't caught him yet
_ _ _ [Gm] For they've got to rise forever in the range up in the sky
[Eb] On horses snorting fire
_ _ _ [Gm] And they ride hard to hear them cry
_ _ [Bb] Yippee-yi-yay!
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
Those riders [Cm] in _ [Gm] the sky
_ _ _ _ The riders loomed on by him, [Bb] yet one called his name _
_ [Gm] If you want to save your soul from hell and riding on a ray
_ _ _ [Gm] Then come on, change your ways today or with us you will ride
[Eb] Trying to catch this devil herd
_ [Gm] Across these endless _ skies
Yippee [Bb]-yi _ _ _ -yay!
Yippee [Gm]-yi _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb]-
Those riders in _ [F] the sky
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
Those [Cm] riders in _ [Bb] the sky
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
