[G]
[E] [Em] [C]
[B] [Em]
And old Cowpoke went riding out one [G] dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested [G] as he went along his way
[Em] When all at once [C] a mighty herd [Em] of red-eyed cows he saw
Plowing [Am] through the ragged skies [Em] and up a cloudy draw
[G] [Em]
The [C] ghost herd in [Am] the [Em] sky
Their brams were still on fire and their [G] hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their [G] hot red heat could feel
[Em] A bolt of fear went through them as they thundered through the sky
For he saw [Am] the riders coming hard and [Em] he heard their mournful cry
[G] [Em]
[C] Ghost riders in the [Em] sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were [G] blurred and shirts all soaked with sweat
[Em] They're riding hard to catch that herd [G] but they ain't caught him yet
[Em] Cause they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
[C] On horses [Am] snorting flame and fire as [Em] they ride on hear them cry
[G]
[Em]
[C] [B]
[Em]
The riders looked on by a man [G] he heard one call his name
If you [Em] want to save your soul from hell [G] riding on our range
[Em] Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will [G] ride
[C]
Trying to catch [Am] the devil's herd [Em] across these endless skies [G] Oh
[Em]
[C] The ghost riders [B] in [Em] the sky
[Em]
[N]
