An ol[Am]d cowboy went ridin' in one [C]dark and windy day.
Upo[Am]n a ridge he rested as he went along his way.
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
[F]Plowin' through the ragged skies and [Dm]up a cloudy [Am]draw.
Their [Am]brands were still on fire and their[C] hooves were made of steel.
Their [Am]hornes were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel.
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky,
For he [F]saw the riders comin' hard, and he [Dm]heard their mournful c[Am]ry.
[Am]Yippie-yi-[C]yo, yippie-yi-[Am]yay.
[F]Ghost riders [Dm]in the [Am]sky.
Guitar solo: Lead Guitar

Their [Am]faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
Their [C]shirts all soaked with sweat.
He's [Am]ridin' hard to catch that heard but he ain't caught 'em yet,
'Causet they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky.
On [F]horses snortin' fire, as they [Dm]ride on hear their [Am]cry.
As the [Am]riders loped on by him, he [C]heard one call his name.
"If you [Am]wanna save your soul from hell, a ridin' on our range,
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride,
[F]Tryin' to catch the devil's herd a-[Dm]cross these endless [Am]skies."
[Am]Yippie-yi-[C]yo, yippie-yi-[Am]yay.
[F]Ghost riders [Dm]in the [Am]sky.
[F]Ghost riders [Dm]in the [Am]sky.
[F]Ghost riders [Dm]in the [Am]sky.
