Ghost Riders In The Sky Tabulatur von Johnny Cash

Am                                            C                       Am      
An   old cowboy went   riding out one   dark and windy   day,    
         Am                                      C                     Am       
Up -   on a ridge he   rested as he   went along his   way,     
            Am                                       F                 Am
When   all at once a   mighty herd of   red-eyed cows he   saw,
Am                         F                              F       Am          
Plowin' through the   ragged sky,     and    up a cloudy   draw,       

          Am                                               C                               Am       
Their   brands were still on   fire and their   hooves were made of   steel,    
          Am                                           C                             Am     
Their   horns were black and   shiny and their   hot breath he could   feel,    
     Am                                                     F                                Am
A   bolt of fear went   through him as they   thundered through the   sky,
            Am                   F                                                                   Am    
For he   saw the riders   coming hard,     and he   heard their mournful   cry.     

Chorus:

                 C                         Am     
Yippe-ai -   oh,     yippee-a i-   ay,      (Coyote Yip)
F                                  Am     
Ghost   riders   in   the   sky,    

 Break:    One verse Instrumental Guitar & Banjo

          Am                                                            C                               Am 
      
Their   faces gaunt, their   eyes were blurred, their   shirts all soaked with   sweat,    
          Am                                             C                              Am     
He's   ridin' hard to   catch that herd but   he ain't caught them   yet,    
                       Am                                       F                      Am
Cause they've   got to ride for -   ever on that   range up in the   sky,
       Am                   F                      F                           Am         
All   horses snortin'   fire,     as they   ride on, hear them   cry.        

            Am                                      C                          Am            
As the   riders loped on   by him, he   heard one call his   name,        
           Am                                                 C                 Am
If you   want to save your   soul from hell, a   ridin' on our   range,
          Am                                                   F                      
Then   cowboy change your   ways today or   with us you will   ride,
Am                         F                           F                              Am        
Trying to catch the   devil's herd,     a -   cross these endless   skies.    

Chorus:

                  C                     Am          
Yippe-ai -    oh,     yippee-ai -   ay,        (Coyote Yip)
F                                  Am       
Ghost   riders   in   the   sky,      
F                                  Am        
Ghost   riders   in   the   sky,       
F                                  Am                         11 bars
Ghost   riders   in   the   sky,                        then fade
