   Am                              C
An old cowpoke went riding 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 
   C                Am
of red-eyed cows he saw 
  F                                 
A'plowin' through the ragged skies, 
    Am
and up a cloudy draw 
 
C                    Am
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o 
F          Dm     Am
Ghost herd 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 

breaths he could feel 
  Am                               
A bolt of fear went through him as 
     C                     Am
they thundered through the sky 
       F                                 Am
For he saw the riders coming hard and he heard 

their mournful cry 
 
C                    Am
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o 
F            Dm     Am
Ghost riders in the sky  
 
      Am                                    
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, 
    C
and shirts all soaked with sweat 
        Am                             
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd 
    C
but they ain't caught them yet
        Am                   
They've got to ride forever 
       C               Am
on that range up in the sky 
   F                     
On horses snortin' fire, 
                 Am
as they ride on, hear their cry 
 
C                    Am
Yi-pi-yi-o, Yi-pi-yi-o 
F            Dm     Am
Ghost riders in the sky  
 
       Am                      
As the riders loped on by him, 
         C
he heard one call his name 
        Am                     
"If you want to save your soul 
             C
from hell a' ridin' on our range" 
      Am                            
"Then cowboy change your ways today 
   C                Am
or with us you will ride" 
   F                                
"A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd 
 Am
across these endless skies." 
 
C                    Am
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o 
F            Dm     Am
Ghost riders in the sky  
C                    Am
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
