Ghost rider in the sky

Em                                 G
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
  Em
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along 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
