Ghost Riders In The Sky

Stan Jones / Johnny Cash: Silver (1979)

Am C
An old cowboy went ridin' out one dark and windy day.
Am C
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way.
Am
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw:
F Am
Plowin' through the ragged skies, and up a cloudy draw.
 
Am C
Their brands were still on fire and their hoofs were made of steel.
Am C
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel.
Am
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky;
F
For he saw the riders comin' hard, and he heard their mournful cry:
Am C Am C F Am
Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-oh -- The ghost riders in the sky!
solo
Am C
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat.
Am C
He's ridin' hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet'.
Am
'Cause they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky,
F Am
On horses snorting fire as they ride on hear their cry!
 
Am C
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name:
Am C
"If you wanna to save your soul from hell a-ridin' on our range,
Am
Then cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride,
F Am
Tryin' to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies!"
Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-oh - Ghost riders in the sky (3x)...
