An [6m]old cowpoke went riding out one [1]hot and windy day,
U-[6m]pon a ridge he rested as he [1]went along his [3-7]way,
When [6m]all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
A-[4]plowin' through the ragged skies, and [6m]up the cloudy draw.

[6m]Yip-i-ya-[1]a, Yip-i-ya-[6m]o, [4]ghost riders in the [6m]sky.

Their [6m]brands were still on fire and their [1]hoofs were made of steel.
Their [6m]horns were black & shiny & their [1]hot breath he could [3-7]feel.
A [6m]bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky.
4 [4]as he saw the riders comin hard, he could [6m]hear their mournful cry

[6m]Yip-i-ya-[1]a, Yip-i-ya-[6m]o, [4]ghost riders in the [6m]sky.

Their [6m]face were gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their [1]shirts all soaked w sweat,
Theyre [6m]riding hard 2 catch that herd, but [1]they aint cot him [3-7]yet.
They've [6m]got to ride forevermore on the range up in the sky,
On [4]horses snorting fire and as they [6m]ride, I hear them cry.

[6m]Yip-i-ya-[1]a, Yip-i-ya-[6m]o, [4]ghost riders in the [6m]sky.

And [6m]as the riders loped on by he [1]heard one call his name,
If [6m]you want to save your soul from hell a-[1]ridin' on the [3-7]range,
Then [6m]cowboy better change your ways or with us you will ride,
Try-[4]ing to catch the devil's herd a[6m]cross the endless skies.
