Ghost Riders in the Sky Johnny Cash Intro: 6 bars Bm D An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day, Bm D Up -on a ridge he rested as he went along his way, Bm D Bm When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw, G Bm Plowin' through the ragged sky, and up a cloudy draw, Bm D Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel, Bm D Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel, Bm D A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky, G Bm For he saw the riders coming hard, and he heard their mournful cry. Chorus: D Bm Yippe-ai - oh, yippee-a i- ay, (Coyote Yip) G Bm Ghost riders in the sky, Break: Bm D Bm e---------------------------------------------------------------------| B-----------2-3-2-3------------------------------2-3-2-3---5----------| G-2-4-4-4----------4---2-2-2-----2------2-4-2-4-----------------------| D------------------------------4--------------------------------------| A---------------------------------------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------------------------------------| Bm here e--2-2-2---2----------3\7------7-7--5-7-5-----------------------------| B--------3------------3\7--7-7-------------7-3-5\7-7-5-3--------------| G----------------------------------------------------------4---0-0-0--| D---------------------------------------------------------------------| A---------------------------------------------------------------------| Yippe-ai - ay, G Bm e---------------------------------------------------------------------| B---------------3-----------------------------------------------------| G-2---4-4-4-4-------7---4-4-4-4-2-4------7-7-7--7-7h10-10-------------| D---------------------------------------------------------------------| A---------------------------------------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------------------------------------| yippee-a i- oh, Ghost riders in the sky, Bm D Bm G Bm e---7-7-7-7-----------------------------------------------------------| B------------7--------------------------------------------------------| G-------------------------------------------------7--7----------------| D-------------------------------------------------------9---9-7-9-----| A-------------------------------------10--10--10----------------------| E---------------------------------------------------------------------| Bm D Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat, Bm D He's ridin' hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught them yet, Bm G Cause they've got to ride for - ever on that range up in the sky, Bm G All horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear them cry.
