Ghost Riders in the Sky [Am] - The Outlaws
[Verse 1]
(Am) (C)
An old cowboy went out riding one dark and windy day
(Am) (C) (E7)
Uopn a ridge he rested as he went along his way
(Am)
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed crows he saw
(F) (Am)
Plowing through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
(C) (F) (Am)
Yipie- i- oh Yipie i-ay ghost riders in the sky
[Verse 2]
(Am) (C)
There brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
(Am) (C) (E7)
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
(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

Yipie i-oh, Yipie i-ay ghost riders in the sky
[Verse 3]

Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred and their shirts were soaked with sweat
(Am) (C) (E7)
He's riding 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
(F) (Am)
On horses snorting fire as they ride on hear their cry
