GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY testo

GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY
Am C
1. An old cowboy went ridin\' out one dark and
Am
windy day, upon a ridge he rested as he went
along his way, when all at once a mighty herd of
red-eyed cows he saw, when all at once a mighty
herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
F Am
plowin\' through the ragged skies, and up a
cloudy draw.
Am
2. Their brands were still on fire, and their
C Am
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
F
thundered through the sky, for he saw the
Am
riders comin' hard, and he heard their
mournful cry.
C Am F
Yipie i-oh ! Yipie i-ay ! Ghost riders
Am
in the sky.
Am
3. Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
C
their shirts all soaked with sweat.
Am
He's ridin\' hard to catch that herd, but he
aint caught \'em yet\', \'cause they\'ve got to
ride forever on that range up in the sky,
F Am
on horses snorting fire, as they ride on, hear
their cry.
Am C
4. As the riders loped on by him, he heard one
Am
call his name: \"If you want to save your soul
from hell a riding on our range,
then cowboy change your ways today, or with us
F
you will ride, tryin\' to catch the devil's
Am
herd, across these endless skies.\"
C Am F
Yipie i-oh ! Yipie i-ay ! Ghost riders
Am
in the sky.
