  Am                                     C
An   old cowboy went   riding out one   dark and windy   day,

  Am                                   C
Up -   on 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 sky,     and   up a cloudy   draw,
Chorus:
              C               Am
Yippe-ai -   ay,     yippee-a o-   oh,     (Coyote Yip)

  F                          Am
Ghost   riders   in   the   sky

  Am                                             C
Their   brands were still on   fire and their   hooves 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                                                  Am
For he   saw the riders   coming hard,     and he   heard their mournful  cry.
Chorus:
              C               Am
Yippe-ai -   ay,     yippee-a o-   oh,     (Coyote Yip)

  F                          Am
Ghost   riders   in   the   sky,

  Bbm                                                    Db
Their   faces gaunt, their   eyes were blurred, their   shirts all soaked with   sweat,

  Bbm                                          Db
He's   ridin' hard to   catch that herd but   he ain't caught them   yet,

  Bbm
Cause they've   got to ride for -   ever on that   range up in the   sky,

  Gb                                         Bbm
All   horses snortin'   fire,     as they   ride on, hear them   cry.
Chorus:
              Db               Bbm
Yippe-ai -   ay,     yippee-a o-   oh,     (Coyote Yip)

  Gb                         Bbm
