Willie Nelson & Johnny Cash, Ghost Riders In The Sky (1998)
Key: :[D] (w: Stan Jones, 1948)
VERSE 1:
[Bm] An old cowboy went riding' out one
[D] dark and windy day
[Bm] Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his
[D] way
[Bm] When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
[G] Ploughing through the ragged skies; and
[Bm] up a cloudy draw
VERSE 2:
[Bm] Their brands were still on fire, and their
[D] hooves were made of steel
[Bm] Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could
[D] feel
[Bm] A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
[G] For he saw the riders coming hard, and he
[Bm] heard their mournful cry
CHORUS:
Yippee
[D] i-ay, Yippee
[Bm] i-oh,
[G] Ghost Riders in the
[Bm] sky
VERSE 3:
[Bm] As the riders loped on by him, he
[D] heard one call his name
[Bm] If you want to save your soul from hell a riding on our
[D] range
[Bm] Then cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride
[G] Trying to catch the devil's herd, a-
[Bm]-cross these endless skies
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 4:
[Bm] Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their
[D] shirts all soaked with sweat
[Bm] They're riding hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em
[D] yet
[Bm] Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
[G] On horses snorting fire, as
[Bm] they ride on, hear their cry
REPEAT CHORUS:
OUTRO: [G] Ghost Riders in the
[Bm] sky
[G] [Bm]
