Verse 1:
 A minorAm               C majorC
An old cowboy went ridin' out one dark and windy day
 A minorAm
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
  A minorAm
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed steers he saw
 FF                   DmDm     A minorAm   C majorC A minorAm
A augmentedA ploughin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Verse 2:
   A minorAm                 C majorC
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
   A minorAm
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
 A minorAm
A augmentedA bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
 FF                  DmDm          A minorAm
He saw the riders coming hard... and he heard their mournful cry

Chorus:

Ghost riders in, ghost riders in the sky

Verse 3:
   A minorAm                     C majorC
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
    A minorAm
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'ain't caught 'em yet
       A minorAm
'Cause they've got to ride forever in the range up in the sky
 FF              DmDm          A minorAm
On horses snorting fire as they ride hard, hear them cry
