Chords for Johnny Cash - (Ghost) Riders In The Sky (Live In Las Vegas, 1979)

_ _ _ _ [A] We've _ _ _ got to pay tribute [Am] now to _ the people who recorded this before me.
_ 1936 was the Sons of the Pioneers, _ [A] 1947, Paul Monroe, _ [Am] 1951, Frankie Lane, 1953, Gene Autry,
_ 1979 we had a number one record on it. _
An old cowboy went riding out [C] one dark and windy day
_ _ _ [Am] 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
[F] Plowing through the ragged sky _ and [Dm] up a [Am] cloudy draw _ _ _ _
_ Their grounds were still on fire and [C] their hooves were made of steel
_ _ [Am] Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath [E] he could feel _ _
[Am] A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
[F] For he saw the riders coming hard _ and [Dm] he heard their [A] mournful cry _ _
_ [C] Yippee-yi-oh, _ _ _ _ [Am] yippee-yi [Em]-ay _ _
_ _ [F] _ Ghost riders in [Am] the sky _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] Yippee-yi-oh, _ [Am] _
yippee-yi-ay _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
Their faces gumped, their eyes were blurred, [C] their shirts all soaked with sweat
_ _ _ [Am] He's riding hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught him yet _ _ _
Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
[F] On the horses snorting fire _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] As the riders looked on by him [C] he heard one call his name _ _
If you want to [Em] save your soul from hell riding on our [A] range
Then [E] cowboy change your ways [A] today or with us you [E] will ride
[F] He's riding hard to catch the devil's herd _ [Dm] across these [A] endless skies
_ [Am] _
_ [C] Yippee-yi-oh, _ _ _ yippee [Am]-yi-ay _ _
_ _ [F] Ghost _ riders in the [A] sky
