An old cowboy went riding out one dark  and windy day
 Lam                          Lam
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
     Lam                           Lam
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
  Fa
A-plowin' through the ragged sky
   Fa        Rem          Lam
      and up a cloudy draw

       Lam
Their brands were still on fire
            Do
and their hooves were made of steel
       Lam
Their horns were black and shiny
            Lam
and their hot breath he could feel
   Lam
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
       Fa
For he saw the riders coming hard
Fa           Rem               Lam
   and he heard their mournful cry

          Do             Lam
Yippee-ai-oh, yippee-ai-ay
Fa                   Lam
Ghost riders in the sky

      Lam
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred
         Do
their shirts all soaked with sweat
     Lam
He's ridin' hard to catch that herd
     Lam
but he ain't caught 'em yet
               Lam
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
   Fa
On horses snortin' fire
Fa               Rem              Lam
      as they ride on hear their cry
       Lam
As the riders loped on by him,
   Do
he heard one call his name
       Lam
If you want to save your soul from hell a ridin' on our range
     Lam
Then cowboy change your ways today
or with us you will ride
Fa
Trying to catch the devil's herd
Fa        Rem                  Lam
    across these endless skies
         Do             Lam
Yippee-ai-oh, yippee-ai-ay
Fa                   Lam
