A#MAn old cowboy went riding out One G#dark and windy day

C#mWhen all at once a mighty herd Of red-eyed cows he A#msaw
G#A PloF#wing through the raC#gged skies And up A#ma cloG#udy draA#mw
[Verse 2] Their brands were still on fire and Their hooves were made of steel Their horns 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 saw the riders coming hard And he heard their mournful cry [Chorus]
A#mYippie-yi-aiC#e, Yippie-yi-oA#mh! F#The Ghost Riders D#in the skA#my
[Verse 3] Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred Their shirts all soaked with sweat He's riding hard to catch that herd But he ain't caught 'em yet Because they've got to ride forever on That range up in the sky On horses snorting fire As they ride on, hear their cry [Verse 4] As the riders loped on by him As He heard one call his name If you want to save your soul from hell From Riding on our range Then cowboy change your ways today Or with us you will ride Trying to catch the devil's herd Across these endless skies [Chorus] Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh! Ghost Riders in the sky Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh! The Ghost Riders in the sky Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh! The Ghost Riders in the sky
