[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

Verse 1

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] An old cowboy went riding out one

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Third] dark and windy day,

Up-	[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] on a ridge he rested as he went along his way,

When	[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw,

A-

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] plowin' through the ragged sky, and

[DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] up a cloudy

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] draw,

Their

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] brands were still on fire and their

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Third] hooves were made of steel,

Their

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel,

A	[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky,

For he

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] saw the riders coming hard, and he

[DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] heard their mournful

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] cry.

Chorus

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Yippie-yi -

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Third] ooh, yippiee-yi-

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] yay,

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Ghost riders

[DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] in the

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] sky,

Break: One verse Instrumental

Verse 2

Their

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Third] shirts all soaked with sweat,

He's	[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] ridin' hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught them yet,

Cause they've

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] got to ride forever on that range up in the sky,

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] horses snortin' fire, as they

[DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] ride on, hear them

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] cry.

As the

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] riders loped on by him, he

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Third] heard one call his name,

If you

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] want to save your soul from hell, a-ridin' on our range,

Then	[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride,

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Trying to catch the devil's herd, a-

[DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] cross these endless

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] skies.

Chorus

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Yippe-yi -

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Third] ooh, yippee-yi -

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] yay,

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Ghost riders

[DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] in the

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] sky,

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Ghost riders

[DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] in the

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] sky,

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
