An old cowboy went riding [C] out one dark and windy day.
[A] A horn was resting as he went along [Am] his way.
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
[F] Riding through the ragged sky [Dm] and up a [Am] cloudy trough.
Their branches still on fire [C] and their hooves a-leaving steel.
[Am] Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel.
A voice of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky.
[F] The boy saw the rider coming hard [Dm] and he heard their [Am] mournful cry.
[G] [Am]
As the rider sloped on by [C] him he heard one call his name.
If you [Am] want to save your soul from hell riding on our reins
Cowboy [A] change your ways cause they are with us [Am] you will [F] ride.
Ride against the devil's herd [D] across the [A] windless sky.
Yippee [C]-aye-oh, oh yippee [Am]-aye -ay.
[F] Oh, he's in [A] his prime.
Their faces gone, their eyes were blurred, [C] their shirts all soaked with sweat.
He [Am] is riding [A] hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught him [Am]
yet.
Cause he wants to ride forever on that range beneath the sky.
[F] On a horse that's got no chire.
As [D] the rider heard [Am] their cry.
[A] As the rider sloped on by him [C] he heard one call his name.

Cowboy change your ways cause they are with us you [F#m] will [C] ride.

[Dm] across the [Am] windless sky.
