[Dm]
[F] Yippee-aye-ay, yippee [Dm]-aye -oh, [Bb] those riders in [Dm] the sky.
An old cowpoke went riding out [F] one dark and windy day.
[Dm] Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way.
When all at once a mighty bunch of red-eyed cows he saw
[Bb] plowing through the ragged skies.
And up a [Dm] cloudy draw, yippee [F]-aye-ay, yippee [Dm]-aye-oh,
[Bb]
those riders in [Dm] the sky.
The rams were still on fire [F] and their hoofs were made of steel.
Their [Dm] horns were black and shiny and the hot breath he could feel.
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky.
He [Bb] saw the riders coming home and he heard their [Dm] mournful cry.
Yippee [F]-aye-ay, yippee [Dm]-aye-oh,
[Bb] those riders in [Dm] the sky.
Their faces gone, their eyes are blurred, their [F] shirts all soaked with sweat.
They're [Dm] riding hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet.
Cause you gotta ride forever on that range up in the sky,
[Bb] on horses snorting fire.
As [Dm] they ride on here they cry, [F] yippee-aye-ay, [Dm] yippee-aye-oh,
[Bb] those riders in [Dm] the sky.
As the riders went on by [F] he heard one call his name.
Yippee-aye-ay, [Dm] if you want to save your soul from ever riding on our range,
then cowboy change your way today or with us you will ride.
[Bb] Trying to catch the devil's herd across [Dm] the endless skies.
[F] Yippee-aye-ay, [Dm] yippee-aye-oh,
[Bb] those riders [Dm] in the sky.
[Bb] Those riders in [F] the sky.
