Ghost Riders In The Sky chords by Dick Haimes

Em                                   G
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
  Em                         G               B7
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
      Em
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
   C                   Am              Em
Aplowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
           G               Em   C
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o
     Am     Em
Ghost riders in the sky
      Em                                   G
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
      Em                                   G                 B7
Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel;
   Em
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sk,
       C              Am                 Em
For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry
           G               Em   C
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o
     Am     Em
Ghost riders in the sky.
Em
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred
       G
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
        Em                                  G                        B7
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet
        Em
They've got to ride forever in that range up in the sky,
    C               Am            Em
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o, ghost riders in the sky
       Em                         G
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
        Em                                   G            B7
"If you want to save your soul from hell a' ridin' on our range
      Em
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
  C                   Am            Em
Atryin' to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies.
           G               Em   C
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o
     Am     Em
Ghost riders in the sky
C           Am      G
Ghost riders in the sky
