[Verse 1]

[tab]Dm                                F
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day

  Dm
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way

     Dm
When all at once a mighty bunch of red eyed cows he saw

Bb                                 Gm          Dm
Plowing through the ragged sky and up a cloudy draw

Dm        F
Yippie yi yaaaaay

          Dm
Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Bb           Gm      Dm
Ghost Riders in the sky
[Verse 2]
Dm                                        F
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel

      Dm
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel

  Dm
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky

       Bb                                Gm                   Dm
For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Dm        F
Yippie yi yaaaaay

          Dm
Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Bb           Gm      Dm

[Verse 3]
Dm                                                 F
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat

     Dm
He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet

               Dm
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky

   Bb
On horses snorting fire

        Gm                 Dm
As they ride on hear their cry

Dm        F
Yippie yi yaaaaay

          Dm
Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Bb           Gm      Dm
Ghost Riders in the sky
[Verse 4]
Dm                               F
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name

       Dm
If you want to save your soul from ever riding on our range

     Dm
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride

Bb                                Gm                 Dm
Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across the endless skies

Dm        F
Yippie yi yaaaaay

          Dm
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
