A#m An old cowboy went riding out C# one dark and windy day A#m Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way A#m When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw F# A-plowing through the ragged sky D#m A#m and up the cloudy draw Their brands were still on fire and their 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 thundered through the sky For he saw the riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry Chorus: A#m C# Yippie yi Ohhhhh C# A#m Yippie yi yaaaaay F# D#m A#m Ghost Riders in the sky Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat He's ridin' hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught 'em yet 'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky On horses snortin' fire as they ride on, hear their cry As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name "If you want to save your soul from hell from ridin' on our range Then cowboy, change your ways today or with us you will ride Tryin' to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies" Chorus: Yippie yi Ohhhhh Yippie yi Yaaaaay Ghost Riders in the sky Ghost Riders in the sky Ghost Riders in the sky | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA A#m C# D#m F# Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
