Intro:     Bb           Gm7    Dm 

   Dm                Dm7            F               C                          
An old cow-poke went riding out one dark and lonely day, 
 Dm             Dm7          F              F7                           
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way, 
     Dm            F              C                Dm 
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw, 
  Bb                  Dm7              Gm   Gm7    Dm 
A plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw. 
         C                Dm      Bb           Gm7    Dm 
Yippie I Aaay,   Yippie I Oooh,   Ghost Riders in the Sky'¦y. 

      Dm                   Dm7            F                   C                            
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel, 
      Dm                   Dm7             F                   F7 
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel, 
  Dm                F                   C                     Dm 
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky, 
   Bb             Dm7                 Gm          Gm7      Dm 
He saw the riders coming hard'¦ and he heard their mournful cry. 
         C                Dm      Bb           Gm7    Dm 
Yippie I Aaay,   Yippie I Oooh,   Ghost Riders in the Sky'¦y. 

       Dm              Dm7        F                  C 
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name, 
       Dm                Dm7               F             F7 
If you want to save your soul from hell, a riding on our range, 
     Dm                 F              C                Dm 
Then cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride, 
Bb                  Dm7            Gm          Gm7     Dm 
Tryin' to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies. 
         C                Dm      Bb           Gm7    Dm 
Yippie I Aaay,   Yippie I Oooh,   Ghost Riders in the Sky'¦y. 

    Dm                 Dm7                      F                       C 
The faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat, 
        Dm             Dm7                 F                    F7                                    
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'ain caught 'em yet, 
       Dm                     F            C               Dm 
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky, 
   Bb              Dm7          Gm      Gm7       Dm 
On horses snorting fire as they ride on hear them cry. 
         C                Dm      Bb           Gm7    Dm 
Yippie I Aaay,   Yippie I Oooh,   Ghost Riders in the Sky'¦y.
