Ghost riders In the sky (Stan Jones)
Em G
1.An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day;
Em G B7
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
Em
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
C Am Em
A-plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw.
Refrain1:
G Em C Am Em
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o, ghost herd in the sky.
Em G
2.Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel,
Em G B7
Their horns was black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel;
Em
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky,
C Am Em
For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry.
Refrain2:
G Em C Am Em
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o, ghost riders in the sky.
Em G
3.Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,Their shirts all soaked with sweat;
Em G B7
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet;
Em
They've got to ride forever in that range up in the sky,
C Am Em
On horses snortin´ fire, as they ride on, hear their cry.
Repeat Refrain2:
G Em C Am Em
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o, ghost riders in the sky.
Em G
4.As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name;
Em G B7
"If you want to save your soul from hell a' ridin' on our range,
Em
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride,
C Am Em
A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies."
Repeat Refrain2:
G Em C Am Em
Yip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o, ghost riders in the sky.
C Am G
+Ghost riders in the sky.
