   Am                             C              Am
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day,
  Am                         C              Am
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
    Am                             F               Am
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
Am                  F              F           Am
Plowinʼ through the agged sky, and up a cloudy draw,

      Am
Their brands were still on fire
          C                   Am
and their hooves were made of steel,
     Am
Their horns were black and shiny
         C                    Am
and their hot breath he could feel,
  Am
А bolt of fear went through him
       F                     Am
as they thundered through the sky,
       Am             F
For he saw the riders coming hard,
                            Am
and he heard their mournful cry.

Chorus:
        C             Am
Yippe-ai-oh, yippee-ai-ay, (Coyote Yip)
F                   Am
Ghost riders in the sky,

Instrumental: Am C Am x2
              Am F Am
              Am F F Am

      Am
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
       C                     Am
their shirts all soaked with sweat,
     Am                                C                    Am
Heʼs ridinʼ hard to catch that herd but he ainʼt caught them yet,
             Am                           F               Am
Cause theyʼve got to ride forever on that range up in the sky,
    Am             F             F                  Am
All horses snortinʼ fire, as they ride on, hear them cry.

      Am                         C                  Am
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name,
      Am                                  C              Am
If you want to save your soul from hell, a ridinʼ on our range,
    Am                                F
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride,
Am                  F              F                   Am
Trying to catch the devilʼs herd, across these endless skies.

Chorus:
       C              Am
Yippe-ai-oh, yippee-ai-ay, (Coyote Yip)
F                  Am
Ghost riders in the sky,
F                   Am
Ghost riders in the sky,
F                  Am
Ghost riders in the sky.
