That old cowboy went riding out [C] one dark and windy day.
[Am] Out on a ridge he rested as he went along his way.
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
[F] Glowing through the ragged sky [Dm] and up a [A] cloudy draw.
[Am]
Their brams were still [A] on [D] fire and [C] their hoes were made of steel.
[Am] Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel.
[A] [E]
[Am] A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky.
[F] For he saw the riders coming hard and [Dm] they heard their [Am] mournful cry.

Cause they've got to ride forever on that [C] range up in [A] the sky.
[F] On horses snorting fire as [Dm] they ride on to hear [Am] their cry.
As the riders loafed on by him he [C] heard one call his name.
[Em] If [Am] you want to save your soul from hell riding on our range.
Cowboys change your ways today [A] or with us you will ride.
