Johnny Cash - Ghost Riders in the Sky

An old cowboy went riding out
|
C#
|
One dark and windy day
|
Bbm
|
Upon a ridge he rested as
|
C#
|
He went along his way
|
Bbm
|
When all at once a mighty herd
|
Of red eyed cows he saw
|
F# Ebm
|
AK-plowing through the ragged sky
|
Bbm
|
And up the cloudy draw
|
Bbm
|
Their brands were still on fire and
|
C#
|
Their hooves were made of steel
|
Bbm
|
Their horns were black and shiny and
|
C#
|
Their hot breath he could feel
|
Bbm
|
A bolt of fear went through him as they
|
Thundered through the sky
|
F# Ebm
|
For he saw the Riders coming hard
|
Bbm
|
And he heard their mournful cry
|
Bbm C#
|
Yippie yi ooohhh
|
C# Bbm
|
Yippie yi yaaaay
|
F# Ebm Bbm
|
Ghost Riders in the sky
|
Bbm
|
Their faces gaunt
|
Bbm
|
Their eyes were blurred
|
C#
|
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
|
Bbm
|
He's riding hard to catch that herd
|
C#
|
But he ain't caught 'em yet
|
Bbm
|
'Cause they've got to ride forever on
|
That range up in the sky
|
F# Ebm
|
On horses snorting fire
|
Bbm
|
As they ride on hear their cry
|
Bbm
|
As the riders loped on by him
|
C#
|
He heard one call his name
|
Bbm
|
If you want to save your soul from Hell
|
C#
|
A-riding on our range
|
Bbm
|
Then cowboy change your ways today or
|
With us you will ride
|
F# Ebm
|
Trying to catch the Devil's herd
|
Bbm
|
Across these endless skies
|
Bbm C#
|
Yippie yi yaaaay
|
C# Bbm
|
Yippie yi ohhhhh
