Verse 1

A augmentedA                 C majorC
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day;
 A augmentedA
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
G+G  A augmentedA                     G+G
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
  FF                  A augmentedA
Plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw.

Verse 2

 G+G  A augmentedA                  C majorC
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel,
A augmentedA
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel;
G+G A augmentedA                               G+G
A augmentedA bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky,
 FF                      A augmentedA
He saw the riders comin' hard and heard their mournful cry.

Chorus

yip-pie-ya-o, Yip-pie-ya-aye,
G+G     C majorC D MajorD    A augmentedA  G+G
yip-pie-ya-o, Yip-pie-ya-aye,

FF          A augmentedA  G+G
ghost riders in the sky.
