Ghost Riders In The Sky -- The Blues Brothers
Lam Do
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day,
Lam Do
Up - on a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
Lam
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
Fa Lam
Plowin' through the ragged sky, and up a cloudy draw,
Do Lam
Yippe-ai - ay, yippee-a o- oh, (Coyote Yip)
Fa Lam
Ghost riders in the sky,
Lam Do
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel,
Lam Do
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel,
Lam
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky,
Fa Lam
For he saw the riders coming hard, and he heard their mournful cry.
Do Lam
Yippe-ai - ay, yippee-a o- oh, (Coyote Yip)
Fa Lam
Ghost riders in the sky,
Sibm Reb
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat,
Sibm Reb
He's ridin' hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught them yet,
Sibm
Cause they've got to ride for - ever on that range up in the sky,
Solb Sibm
All horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear them cry.
Reb Sibm
Yippe-ai - ay, yippee-a o- oh, (Coyote Yip)
Solb Sibm
Ghost riders in the sky,
Solo: Mouth organ – Chorus Chords
Sim Re
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name,
Sim Re
If you want to save your soul from hell, a ridin' on our range,
Sim
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride,
Sol Sim
Trying to catch the devil's herd, a - cross these endless skies.
Re Sim
Yippe-ai - ay, yippee-a o- oh, (Coyote Yip)
Sol Re
