Riders in the Sky Sons of the Pioneers
"Ghost riders in the sky"
[Em]An old cowpoke went riding out one [G]dark and windy day
Up[Em]on a ridge he rested as he went upon his way
When [Em]all at once a [(C/E)]mighty herd of[(A/E)] red-eyed cows he[(C/E)] saw
[C]coming through the ragged [(Am)]sky, and [Em]up a cloudy draw
CHORUS
Yippe-ai-[G]ay, yippee-ai-[Em]oh[(D)]
[C]Ghost herd i[(Am)]n the sk[Em]y
Their[Em] brands were still on fire and their[G] hooves were made of steel
Their [Em]horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A [Em]bolt of fear went[(C/E)] through him as they[(A/E)] rumbled through the
[(C/E)]sky
Then he [C]saw the riders coming hard,[(Am)] and he [Em]heard their mournful cry
chorus
Their fa[Em]ces gaunt their eyes were blurred thei[G]r shirts all soaked with sweet
Their ri[Em]ding hard to catch that herd but they aint caught them yet
for [Em]they got to ride[(C/E)] forever on that ra[(A/E)]nge up in the [(C/E)]sky
as horse[C]s snorting fire,[(Am)] as they ride o[Em]n hear their crys
chorus
As the [Em]riders loped on by him, he [G]heard one call his name
If you [Em]want to save your soul from hell, a riding on our range
Then [Em]cowboy change your[(C/E)] ways today or[(A/E)] with us you will[(C/E)] ride
[C]Trying to catch the devil's her[(Am)]d, ac[Em]ross these endless skies
