An old cowpoke went riding out one [E] dark and windy day
Upon a [C#m] ridge he rested as he went along his [E] way
[C#m] When all at once a [A] mighty herd of [C#m] red-eyed cows he saw
[A] A-flowin' through the ragged sky
But [C#m] the cloud he draw
[E] Hi-ya, yippee [C#m]-i-ya
[A]
School's purty [C#] [C#m]
[C#m] on fire and their hooves were made of [E] steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through as they thundered through the sky
[A] For he saw the riders comin' high
[F#m] And [C#m] he heard their mournful cry
[E] Hi-ya, yippee [C#m]-i-ya
[E] Oh, riders [F#m] in the [C#m] sky
A bloke gone by him, he heard [E] one call his name
If you wanna save [C#m] your soul from hell or ridin' on our [E] way
Then cowboy, change your [A] ways today or [C#] with us you will ride
[A] I'm tryin' to catch the devil's herd
[C#m] Across these endless skies
[E] Hi-ya, yippee [C#m]-i-ya
