Ghost Riders In The Sky Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

CAPO: 3rd Fret

[INTRO]
[F] [Dm] [Am] [F] [Dm]

[VERSE 1]
An [Am]old cowpoke went riding out one [C]dark and windy day
U[Am]pon a ridge he rested as he [C]went along his way
When [Am]all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
A'[F]plowin' through the ragged [Dm7]skies, and [Am]up a cloudy draw

[VERSE 2]
Their brands were still on fire and their [C]hooves were made of steel
Their [Am]horns were black and shiny and their [C]hot breath he could feel
A [Am]bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he [F]saw the riders coming hard[Dm7] and he [Am]heard their mournful cry

[CHORUS]
[C] [Am]
Yi-pi-yi-o, Yi-pi-yi-ay
[F]Ghost riders [Dm]in the [Am]sky


[VERSE 3]
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their [C]shirts all soaked with sweat
He's [Am]ridin' hard to catch that herd, but [C]he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've [Am]got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
On [F]horses snortin' fire,[Dm7] as they [Am]ride on, hear their cry

[CHORUS]
[C] [Am]
Yi-pi-yi-o, Yi-pi-yi-ay
[F]Ghost riders [Dm]in the [Am]sky


[VERSE 4]
As the riders loped on by him, he [C]heard one call his name
"If you [Am]want to save your soul from hell, a-[C]ridin' on our range
Then c[Am]owboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
"A-[F]tryin' to catch the Devil's herd[Dm7] a[Am]cross these endless skies."

[CHORUS]
[C] [Am]
Yi-pi-yi-o, Yi-pi-yi-ay
[F]Ghost riders [Dm]in the [Am]sky

[C] [Am]
Yi-pi-yi-o, Yi-pi-yi-ay
