Chords with lyrics
E minorEm G+G
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
E minorEm G+G B7B7
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
E minorEm
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm
Aplowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
G+G E minorEm C majorC
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o
A minorAm E minorEm
Ghost riders in the sky
E minorEm G+G
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
E minorEm G+G B7B7
Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel;
E minorEm
A augmentedA bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sk,
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm
For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry
G+G E minorEm C majorC
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o
A minorAm E minorEm
Ghost riders in the sky.
E minorEm
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred
G+G
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
E minorEm G+G B7B7
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet
E minorEm
They've got to ride forever in that range up in the sky,
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o, ghost riders in the sky
E minorEm G+G
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
E minorEm G+G B7B7
"If you want to save your soul from hell a' ridin' on our range
E minorEm
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm
Atryin' to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies.
G+G E minorEm C majorC
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o
A minorAm E minorEm
Ghost riders in the sky
C majorC A minorAm G+G
Ghost riders in the sky
