Ghost Riders In The Sky Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[Em]An old cowpoke went riding out one d[G]ark and windy day;

Up[Em]on a ridge he rested as he [G]went along his w[B7]ay,

When a[Em]ll at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,

A-p[C]lowin' through the r[Am]agged skies and [Em]up a cloudy draw.

[REFRAIN]

Yip-pie-ya-[G]aye, yip-pie-yi-[Em]o, gh[C]ost riders [Am]in the [Em]sky.

Their [Em]brands were still on fire and their h[G]ooves were made of steel,

Their [Em]horns wuz black and shiny and their h[G]ot breath he could[B7] feel;

A b[Em]olt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky,

For he [C]saw the riders [Am]comin' hard and he [Em]heard their mournful cry.

Repeat Refrain:

[Em]Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,

Their s[G]hirts all soaked with sweat;

They're [Em]ridin' hard to catch that herd, but [G]they ain't caught 'em yet[B7] ;

They've [Em]got to ride forever in that range up in the sky,

On h[C]orses snortin' f[Am]ire, as they r[Em]ide on, hear their cry.

Repeat Refrain:

As the [Em]riders loped on by him, he [G]heard one call his name;

"If you [Em]want to save your soul from hell a' r[G]idin' on our [B7]range,

Then c[Em]owboy change your ways today or with us you will ride,

A-[C]tryin' to catch the [Am]Devil's herd a[Em]cross these endless skies."

Repeat Refrain:
