Ghost Riders In The Sky chords
Stan Jones (as performed by Vaughn Monroe)

Capo IV

Am
C Am

   Am                              C
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day 
 Am                          C
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way 
     Am                           C                Am      
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw 
  F                                     Am
A'plowin' through the ragged skies, and up a cloudy draw 

C                    Am  
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o 
F          Dm     Am
Ghost herd in the sky 

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

C                    Am  
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o 
F            Dm     Am
Ghost riders in the sky  

      Am                                        C
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat 
        Am                                 C
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet
        Am                          C               Am
They've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky 
   F                                      Am
On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear their cry 

C                    Am  
Yi-pi-yi-o, Yi-pi-yi-o 
F            Dm     Am
Ghost riders in the sky  

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

C                    Am  
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o 
F            Dm     Am
Ghost riders in the sky  
C                    Am  
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
