Ghost Riders in the Sky.
You know this song to me is
one of the coolest songs ever, country or what, it doesn't matter.
In 79 on March 27th, cowboy Jack Clement recorded this on Johnny Cash.
Now since then Johnny recorded it also with the Highwaymen which is
obviously a really great iconic group and on an interesting side note I was
actually in Montreux, France
on Lake Geneva just a few months ago [D] which is where
the [Eb] Highwaymen idea came together.
That's when the band kind of formed.

[C] Their [Am] horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he [C] could feel.
[Am] A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky.
[F] He saw the riders coming hard and he heard their [Am] mournful cry.
Yippee [C]-yi-oh, yippee [Am]-yi -ay.
[F] Ghost Riders in [Am] the Sky.

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were [C] blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat.
He's riding hard to catch [C] that herd but he ain't caught them yet.
Cause he's [Am] got to ride forever in that range up in the sky.
[F] Horses snorting fire as they ride [Am] on near their cry.
As the riders loped on by [C] him they heard one call his name.
If you [Am] want to save your soul [C] from hell or riding on our range
then cowboy change [Am] your ways today or with us you will rise.
[F] Trying to catch this devil's herd across [Am] these endless skies.
Yippee [C]-yi-oh, [Am] yippee-yi -ay.
[F] Ghost Riders in the Sky.
[F] Ghost Riders in [Am] the Sky.
[F] Ghost Riders in the Sky.
