Ghost Riders in the Sky

The differences between this version and the others posted here are minor, but I decided to post it here anyway...mainly for my own reference.

5  -6   -6 -6   -7   7  -7   7
An old cow-boy went rid-in' out 

-6   6    6   6  5   6
One dark and win-dy day

 5 -6 -6  -6   -7  7   -7
Up-on  a ridge he rest-ed 

7  -8  8   8  8    7   8
As he went a-long his way

 8    8  -10 -10 -10  -10  8  8
When all  at once a  might-y herd 

8   8   8    8   7  -6
Of red eyed cows he saw

-6  -5  -5    -5    -5   7   7   7
 A-plow-in' through the rag-ged sky 

 7  7  -6   -6   6  -6
And up the cloud-y draw



(Some artists play the chorus only after
The 2nd and 4th verses.)

Ghost rid-ers in the sky



Their brands were still on fire and their 
Hooves were made of steel
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
For he saw the riders com-in' hard 
And he heard their mourn-ful cry



Yip-pie yi yo
Yip- pie  yi yay
Ghost rid-ers in the sky


Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred 
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
They’re ridin' hard to catch that herd 
But they ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever 
On that range up in the sky
On horses snortin' fire
As they ride on hear their cry

Yip-pie yi yo
Yip- pie  yi yay
Ghost rid-ers in the sky


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, cow-boy change your ways today 
Or with us you will ride
Tryin' to catch the Devil's herd 
A-cross these endless skies


Yippie yi yo
Yippie yi Yay
