The old cow pulled quick [C] right now for the dark moonlit day
[Am] Upon which he rested [C] as he went along his way
[Am] To an isle of pine he [F] heard him tread out a [Am] cow's soft
[F]
A-bowling to the ragged sky
Heaven [Am] and cloud and star
Yippee [C]-ki -yay, [Am] yippee-ki-yay
[F] Horses riders in [Am] the sky
[F] [Am]
[E]
Branches on fire, [C] their looms made of steel
[Am] For horns black and shiny, [C] their hot breath he could feel
[Am] Of all the fear went through [F] him as he folded [Am] through the sky
[F]
He heard the riders coming hard
And he heard their horns [E] cry
[C] Yippee-ki-yay, yippee [E]-ki-yay
[F] Horses riders in [E] the sky
[F] [Am]
Eyes are gone, their faces blurred, [C] their shirts all swept in sweat
[Am] They're riding hard to catch that herd [C] that's staying, caught it
[Am] Passing cows to ride for a trip in the sky
[F] On horses snorted fire
As they ride on [Am] here they're crying
[C] Yippee-ki -yay, [Am] yippee-ki-yay
[F] Horses riders in the [B] sky
[F]
As [Am]
the riders sloped on by [C] he handed me a hurt one called his name
[Am] If you want to save your soul from [C] hell and die, then not our range
[Am] And God won't change your ways [F] today or with us [Am] you'll thrive
[F] We're trying to catch that devil's churner
Across these [Am] endless skies
[C] Yippee-ki -yay, [Am] yippee-ki-yay
[F] Horses riders in the
[E] sky
