/ Am                  /                / C                     
An / old cowboy went / riding out one / dark and windy / day, 
/ Am                                 / C                   
Up - / on a ridge he / rested as he / went along his / way,  
/ Am
When / all at once a / mighty herd of / red-eyed cows he / saw,                       
/ F                                        / Am          
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,
/ 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  
Yippe-ai - / ay, / / yippee-a o- / oh, / / (Coyote Yip)

/ Bbm                                                  / Db
Their / faces gaunt, their / eyes were blurred, their / shirts all soaked with / sweat, 
/ Bbm                                        / Db
He's / ridin' hard to / catch that herd but / he ain't caught them / yet, 
/ Bbm                             
Cause they've / got to ride for - / ever on that / range up in the / sky,
/ Gb                                       / Bbm 
All / horses snortin' / fire, / / as they / ride on, hear them / cry.
