Standard Tuning / Standard Boom Chuck Reworked by OGAN Lidgren
/ Am / / C
An / old cowboy went / riding out one / dark and windy / day,
/ /
Up - / on 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 sky, / / and / up a cloudy / draw,
Chorus:
/ C / / / Am
Yippe-ai - / ay, / / yippee-a o- / oh, / / (Coyote Yip)
/ F / / / Am / /
Ghost / riders / 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 breath he could /feel,
/
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.
Chorus:
/ C / / / Am
Yippe-ai - / ay, / / yippee-a o- / oh, / / (Coyote Yip)
/ F / / / Am / /
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 them / yet,
/
Cause they've / got to ride for - / ever on that / range up in the / sky,
/ /
All / horses snortin' / fire, / / as they / ride on, hear them / cry.
Chorus:
/ Db / / / Bbm
Yippe-ai - / ay, / / yippee-a o- / oh, / / (Coyote Yip)

As the / riders loped on / by him, he / heard one call his / name,
/ /
If you / want to save your / soul from hell, a / ridin' on our / range,
/
Then / cowboy change your / ways today or / with us you will / ride,
/ /
Trying to catch the / devil's herd, / / a - / cross these endless / skies.
