Johnny Cash - Ghost Riders in the Sky: chords

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

Their brands were still on fire
and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns 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 coming hard and
he heard their mournful cry

Chorus:
A#m        C#
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
C#         A#m
Yippie yi yaaaaay
F#           D#m      A#m
Ghost Riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's ridin' hard to catch that
herd but he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause 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 want to save your soul from
hell from ridin' on our range
Then cowboy, change your ways today
or with us you will ride
Tryin' to catch the devil's
herd across these endless skies"

Chorus:
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi Yaaaaay
Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
