Ghost Riders In The Sky(Cavaco chords)

	        
verse 1 

Am                            C 
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day 
Am                        C 
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way 
Am 
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw 
F                                    Dm            Am 
Came rushing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw 


Am        C 
Yippie yi yaaaaay 
C         Am 
Yippie yi Ohhhhh 
F            Dm      Am 
Ghost Riders in the sky
 

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

Am        C 
Yippie yi yaaaaay 
C         Am 
Yippie yi Ohhhhh 
F            Dm      Am 
Ghost Riders in the sky 


verse 3 

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

Am        C 
Yippie yi yaaaaay 
C         Am 
Yippie yi Ohhhhh 
F            Dm      Am 
Ghost Riders in the sky

 
verse 4 

Am                               C 
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name 
Am                                      C 
If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range 
Am 
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride 
F                                  Dm                   Am 
Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies 

Am        C 
Yippie yi Yaaaaay 
C         Am 
Yippie yi Ohhhhh 
F            Dm       C 
Ghost Riders in the sky 
F            Dm       C 
Ghost Riders in the sky 
F            Dm       C 
Ghost Riders in the sky
