(ghost) Riders In The Sky Tabulatur von Johnny Cash (für Baryton)

Intro: Am

   Am
An old cowboy went ridin' out one
C
dark and windy day
  Am
Upon a ridge he rested as he
C
went along his way 

When
Am
all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
F
Plowin' through the ragged skies,
       Am
and up a cloudy draw 
     Am 
Their brands were still on fire and
C 
their hooves were made of steel
      Am 
Their horns were black and shiny 
C 
and their hot breaths he could feel

A
Am 
bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
F 
For he saw the riders coming hard, 
       Am 
and he heard their mournful cry 
Am         C
Yippie aye oh
Am             F
Yippie aye ay 
Am
Ghost riders in the sky 


      Am
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
C
their shirts all soaked with sweat,
        Am 
They're ridin' hard to catch that 
C 
herd but they ain't caught 'em yet 

'Cause
Am 
they've got to ride forever in that range up in the sky 
F 
On horses snorting fire, as 
     Am 
they ride on hear them cry:
       Am 
As the riders loped on by him he 
C 
heard one call his name: 
        Am 
'If you want to save your soul from 
C 
hell a-riding on our range, 

Then,
Am
cowboy, change your ways today or with us you will ride 
F 
Tryin' to catch the Devil's herd 
 Am 
across these endless skies.'
