[C] [N] Hello, I'm John Oakesh.
Hello.
Hi, I'm Willie Nelson.
[Em]
What do you want to discuss?
[F#m] [Bm] Love.
An old cowpoke went riding [D] out one dark and windy day.
[Bm] Up on a ridge he rested as he went along his way.
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
[G] plowing through the cloudy sky.
[Em] And up a [Bm] cloud he draw.
Their brands were still on fire [D] and their holes were made of steel.
[Bm] Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel.
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the [G] skies.
He saw the riders coming hard and [E] he heard them [Bm] horns go cry.
Yippee [D]-aye-yay.
[Bm] Yippee-aye-oh.
[G] Ghost [Em] riders in [Bm] the sky.

[Bm]
[B] As the riders passed on by him [D] he heard one call his name.
[Bm] If you want to save your soul from hell or riding on our range.
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will [G] ride.
Trying to catch the devil's herd [E] across these [Bm] endless skies.
[G] Yippee [D]-aye-yay.
[Bm] Yippee-aye-oh.
[G] Ghost riders [Em] in [Bm] the sky.
Thank you, buddy.
[D] [Bm]
[G]
[E] [Bm]
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, [D] their shirts all soaked with sweat.
[Bm] He's riding hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught him yet.
Cause they've got [B] to ride forever on that range up in the [G] sky.
On horses, north and fire
[Em] as they ride [Bm] on hear their cries.
[D] Yippee-aye-yay.
[Bm] Yippee-aye-oh.
[G] Ghost [Em] riders in [Bm] the sky.
