Ghost riders in the sky

Em G An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day Em Upon a ridge he rested as he went upon his way Em (C/E) (A/E) (C/E) When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw C (Am) Em coming through the ragged sky, and up a cloudy draw Em G Their brands were still on fire and their hot breath he could feel Em Their horns were black and shiny and their hooves were made of steel Em (C/E) (A/E) (C/E) A bolt of fear went through him as they rumbled through the sky C (Am) Em Then he saw the riders coming hard, and he heard their mournful cry CHORUS G Em (D) Yippe-ai-ay, yippee-ai-oh C (Am) Em Ghost riders in the sky Em G As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name Em If you want to save your soul from hell, a riding on this range Em (C/E) (A/E) (C/E) Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride C (Am) Em Trying to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies ********************************************************************** \ | / \|/________ ---O--- \ /|\________ \ ____________ / | \ \ \/ | \ A BAR J | \____________|_ ANDREW D.
