[C#m]
[E]
[C#m]
An old cowpoke went [E] riding out one dark and windy day
[C#m] Upon a ridge he rested [E] as he went along his way
[C#m] When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he [A] saw
A-plowin' through the ragged skies
[F#m] And up a [C#m] cloudy drawl
[E] In the eye of the [C#m] eye of the moon
[A] The ghost [F#m] herd in [C#m] the sky
Their brands were still on fire and [E] their hooves were made of steel
Their [C#m] horns were black and shiny [E] and their hot breath he could feel
[C#m] A bowl of fear went through him as they thundered through the [A] sky
For he saw the riders comin' hard
[F#m]
And he heard their [C#m] mournful
[G#] cry
[E] Yippee-ki-yay, yippee-ki [C#m]-yay, yippee [A]-ki-yay
Ghost riders [F#m] in [C#m] the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were [E] blurred and shirts all soaked with sweat
They're [C#m] ridin' hard to catch that [E] herd but they ain't caught him yet
[C#m] Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
[A] On horses snortin' fire [F#m] as they ride on hear [C#m] their cry
Yippee-ki-yay, [E]
yippee [C#m]-ki-yay
Ghost
[A]
[F#m] riders in [C#m] the sky
As the riders looked on by him [E] he heard one call his name
If [C#m] you want to save your soul from [E] hell a-ridin' on a range
[C#m] Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
A [A]-tryin' to catch the devil's herd
[F#m] Across these [C#m] endless skies
[E] Yippee-ki-yay, yippee-ki [C#m]
-yay, yippee-ki-yay
