An old cowboy went riding [Eb] out one dark and windy day.
[Cm] Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way.
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw.
Low [Ab] in the ragged sky [Fm] and up the cloud he draw.
Their brains were still on fire and their [Eb] hooves were made of steel.
[Cm] Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel.
And the pall of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky.
[Ab] For he saw the riders coming hard [Fm] and he heard their [Cm] mobile cry.
Yippee [Eb]-aye-oh, yippee [Cm]-aye -ay.
[Ab] Ghost riders in [Cm] the sky.
Their faces gone, their eyes were blurred [Eb] and their shirts all soaked with sweat.
[Cm] They're riding hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet.
Cause they're doomed to ride forever on that range up in the sky.
[Ab] On horses snorting fire as [Fm] they ride on [Cm] to hear their cry.
Yippee [Eb]-aye-oh, [Cm] yippee-aye-ay.
[Ab] Ghost riders in [Cm] the sky.
As the riders loped on by him he [Eb] heard one call his name.
If you want to save your soul from hell riding on this range.
Then cowboy change your ways today or with a shoe we'll ride.
[Ab] Trying to catch the devil's herd [Fm] across these endless [Cm] skies.
Yippee [Eb]-aye-oh, yippee [Cm]-aye -ay.
[Ab] Ghost riders in [Cm] the sky.
