Judy Collins - Ghost Riders In The Sky
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
F  Dm  Am    F  Dm
[Verse 1]
   Am                              C
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
 Am                          C
Upon 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                          Dm7        Am
A'plowin' through the ragged skies, and up a cloudy draw
[Verse 2]
                                          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                         Dm7     Am
For he saw the riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry
[Chorus]
         C           Am
Yi-pi-yi-o, Yi-pi-yi-ay
F            Dm     Am
Ghost riders in the sky
[Verse 3]
                                                  C
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
     Am                                  C
He's ridin' hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet
               Am
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
   F                    Dm7      Am
On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear their cry
[Chorus]
         C           Am
Yi-pi-yi-o, Yi-pi-yi-ay
F            Dm     Am
Ghost riders in the sky
[Verse 4]
                                  C
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
        Am                                  C
"If you want to save your soul from hell, a-ridin' on our range
      Am
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
   F                               Dm7 Am
"A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd   across these endless skies."
[Chorus]
         C           Am
Yi-pi-yi-o, Yi-pi-yi-ay
F            Dm     Am
Ghost riders in the sky
[Chorus]
         C           Am
Yi-pi-yi-o, Yi-pi-yi-ay
F            Dm     Am
Ghost riders in the sky
[Chorus]
         C           Am
Yi-pi-yi-o, Yi-pi-yi-ay
F            Dm     Am
Ghost riders in the sky
[Chorus]
         C           Am
Yi-pi-yi-o, Yi-pi-yi-ay
F            Dm     Am
Ghost riders in the sky
F            Dm     Am
Ghost riders in the sky
