A#m A#m                                            C# C#                       A#m A#m      
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day,
A#m A#m C# C# A#m A#m
Up - on a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
A#m A#m F# F# A#m A#m
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
A#m A#m F# F# F# F# A#m A#m
Plowin' through the ragged sky, and up a cloudy draw,

A#m A#m C# C# A#m A#m
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel,
A#m A#m C# C# A#m A#m
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel,
A#m A#m F# F# A#m A#m
A A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky,
A#m A#m F# F# A#m A#m
For he saw the riders coming hard, and he heard their mournful cry.

Chorus:

C# C# A#m A#m
Yippe-ai - oh, yippee-a i- ay, (Coyote Yip)
F# F# A#m A#m
Ghost riders in the sky,

Break: One verse Instrumental Guitar & Banjo

A#m A#m C# C# A#m A#m

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat,
A#m A#m C# C# A#m A#m
He's ridin' hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught them yet,
A#m A#m F# F# A#m A#m
Cause they've got to ride for - ever on that range up in the sky,
A#m A#m F# F# F# F# A#m A#m
All horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear them cry.

A#m A#m C# C# A#m A#m
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name,
A#m A#m C# C# A#m A#m
If you want to save your soul from hell, a ridin' on our range,
A#m A#m F# F#
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride,
A#m A#m F# F# F# F# A#m A#m
Trying to catch the devil's herd, a - cross these endless skies.

Chorus:

C# C# A#m A#m
Yippe-ai - oh, yippee-ai - ay, (Coyote Yip)
F# F# A#m A#m
Ghost riders in the sky,
F# F# A#m A#m
Ghost riders in the sky,
F Am 11 bars
Ghost riders in the sky, then fade
