Riders In The Sky Chords by Johnny Cash

[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ An old cowboy went riding [Db] out one dark and windy day.
_ _ [Bb] Up on a ridge he rested [Bbm] as he went along his way. _
_ When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
[Gb] plowing through the ragged sky _
_ _ [Ebm] and up the [Bbm] cloudy draw. _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ Their prams were still on fire [Db] and their hooves were made of steel. _ _ _
[Bbm] 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 sky.
[Gb] The boy saw the riders coming hard _ [Eb] and he heard their [Bbm] mournful cry.
_ _ _ _ [Db] Yippee-aye-oh, _ _ _ yippee [Bbm]-aye-ay
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
Those riders in _ [Bbm] the sky.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _
[Bb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ Their faces gulped, their eyes were blurred, [Db] their shirts all soaked with sweat. _ _
_ [Bbm] He's riding hard to catch [Bb] that herd but he ain't caught [Bbm] them yet.
_ _ _ Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky.
[Gb] All the horses snorting fire _ as they [Eb] ride on hear their [Bbm] _ cry. _ _ _ _ _
As the rider sloped on by [Db] him he heard one call his name. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bbm] If you want to save your soul from hell riding on our range
then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride.
[Gb] Trying to catch the devil's herd _ [Ebm] across [Ab] these [Bbm] endless skies. _ _ _
_ [Db] Yippee-aye-oh, _ _ _ _ [Bbm] yippee-aye-ay _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ Those riders in _ [Bbm] the sky. _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Gb] _ Those riders in _ [Bbm] the sky. _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ Those riders in [Bbm] the sky. _ _ _ _ _
