Johnny Cash — Ghost Riders In The Sky (ver 4) Chords
Capo on 2nd fret:
Am G
An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and lonely day,
Am
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
Am G
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
F Dm Am
a plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
G Am F Am
Verse 2—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Am G
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Am
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
Am G
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
F Dm Am
He saw the riders coming hard... and he heard their mournful cry
{ Chorus:}———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
G Am F Am
Yippie I ayy Yippie I Oooh Ghost Riders in the sky
Verse 3——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Am G
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
Am
If you want to save your soul from hell, a riding on our range
Am G
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
F Dm Am
Trying to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies
{ Chorus:}———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
G Am F Am
Yippie I ayy Yippie I Oooh Ghost Riders in the sky
Verse 4——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Am G
The faces gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweat
Am,
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'aint caught 'em yet
Am G
'cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
F Dm Am
On horses snorting fire as they ride on hear them cry.
