[Am] An old cowpoke went [C] riding out one dark and windy day.
[Am] Upon a ridge he rested as [C] he went along his way.
[Am] When all at once a mighty [A] herd of red-eyed cows he [F] saw,
a-flowin' through the ragged skies, [Dm] and up a [Am] cloudy draw.
[E]
[G] Yippee-aye-ay, [A]
yippee-aye [E]-oh, [G]
[F] the ghost herd [D] in the [Am] sky.
[A]
Their brains were still on fire and their [C] hooves were made of steel.
[Am] Their horns were black and shiny and [C] their hot breath he could feel.
[A]
Hopeful dope-fear went through him as [Am] they thundered through the [F] sky,
where he saw the riders coming hard [Dm] and he heard them mournful [Am] cry.
[C] Yippee-aye -ay, yippee-aye [E]-oh,
[F] ghost riders [Dm] in the [Am] sky.
[Bbm]
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred [Db] and shirts all soaked with sweat.
They [Bbm] ride hard to catch that herd but [Db] they ain't caught them yet,
cause they got to ride forever in that range up in the sky.
[Gb] On horses startin' fire, [Ebm] as they ride on hear their [F] [F] cry.
[Db] Yippee-aye -ay, [Bbm]
yippee-aye-oh, [Bb] [Gb]
ghost riders [Ebm] in the [Bbm] sky.

As the riders loafed on by him [D] he heard one call his name.
[F]
[B] If you want to save [Am] your soul from hell [D] or ridin' on a rein,
[A] then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride.
[G] A-tryin' to catch the devil's herd [Em] across these [Bm] endless skies.
[D] Yippee-aye-ay, yippee-aye [Bm]-oh, [G] ghost riders [Em] in the [D] sky.
