Song: (Ghost) Riders in The Sky
Capo 1st fret
Verse
An old cowboy went ridin' out
one dark and windy day.
Upon a ridge he rested as he
went along his way.
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
Plowin' through the ragged skies
and up a cloudy draw.
Their brands were still on fire
and their hooves were made of
steel.
Their hornes were black and
shiny and their hot breath he
could feel.
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky,
For he saw the riders comin'
hard, and he heard their
mournful cry.
Yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yay.
Ghost riders in the sky.

Verse
Their faces gaunt, their eyes
were blurred,
Their shirts all soaked with
sweat.
He's ridin' hard to catch that
heard but he ain't caught 'em
yet,
'Causet they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky.
On horses snortin' fire, as they
ride on hear their cry.
As the riders loped on by him,
he heard one call his name.
"If you wanna save your soul
from hell, a ridin' on our
range,
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride,
Tryin' to catch the devil's herd
a-cross these endless skies."
Yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yay.
Ghost riders in the sky.
Ghost riders in the sky.
Ghost riders in the sky.
