Verse:
Am An old cowpoke went riding out one C dark and windy day
Am Upon a ridge he rested as he C went along his E7 way
When Am all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
A’ F plowin’ through the ragged skies
and Am up a cloudy draw
Chorus:
Am Yi-pi-yi- C ay, Yi-pi-yi- Am o
F Ghost riders Dm in the Am sky
Verse:
Am Their brands were still on fire and their
C hooves were made of steel
Am Their horns were black and shiny and their
C hot breathe he could E7 feel
A Am bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he F saw the riders comin’ hard Dm and he
Am heard their mournful cry
Chorus:
Am Yi-pi-yi- C ay, Yi-pi-yi- Am o
F Ghost riders Dm in the Am sky
Verse:
Am Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
and C shirts all soaked with sweat
Am They’re ridin’ hard to catch that herd but
C they ain’t caught them E7 yet
They’ve Am got to ride forever in that range up in the sky
On F horses snortin’ fire, Dm as they Am ride on, hear their cry
Chorus:
Am Yi-pi-yi- C ay, Yi-pi-yi- Am o
F Ghost riders Dm in the Am sky
Verse:
Am As the riders loped on by him, he C heard one call his name
Am “If you want to save your soul from hell a’ C ridin’ on our E7 range”
“Then Am cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride”
“A- F tryin’ to catch the Devil’s herd
a Am cross these endless skies.”
Chorus:
Am Yi-pi-yi- C ay, Yi-pi-yi- Am o
F Ghost riders Dm in the Am sky X 3
