Capo on 1st fret.


[Verse 1]

            
An old cowboy 

              
went riding ou

      
t one dark and

 windy day

Upon a ridge h

e rested as he

 went along hi

s way

When all at on

ce a mighty he

rd of red eyed

 cows he saw
             
A-plowing thro

              
ugh the ragged

            
 sky and up th

         
e cloudy draw


[Verse 2]

            
Their brands w

              
ere still on f

              
ire and their 


hooves were ma

de of steel

Their horns we

re black and s

hiny and their

 hot breath he

 could feel

A bolt of fear

 went through 

him as they th

undered throug

h the sky
             
For he saw the

              
 Riders coming

             
 hard and he h

             
eard their mou

      
rnful cry


[Chorus]

        
Yippie yi Ohhh

Yippie yi yaaa

aay
             
Ghost Riders i

[Verse 3]

            
Their faces ga

              
unt, their eye

              
s were blurred

        
, their shirts

 all soaked wi

th sweat

He's riding ha

rd to catch th

at herd, but h

e ain't caught

 'em yet

'Cause they've

 got to ride f

orever on that

 range up in t

he sky

On horses snor

ting fire
            
As they ride o

[Verse 4]

            
As the riders 

              
loped on by hi
