Riders In The Sky

(início)

Em                                 G
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
  Em
Upon a ridge he rested as he went upon his way
     Em            (C/E)         (A/E)            (C/E)
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
C                         (Am)     Em
coming through the ragged sky, and up a cloudy draw
CHORUS
         G             Em    (D)
Yippe-ai-ay, yippee-ai-oh
C           (Am)    Em
Ghost herd in the sky
     Em                                  G
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
      Em
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
  Em               (C/E)               (A/E)
A bolt of fear went through him as they rumbled through the
(C/E)
sky
        C                          (Am)        Em
Then he saw the riders coming hard,     and he heard their mournful cry
chorus
        Em                                    G
Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweet
        Em
Their riding hard to catch that herd but they aint caught them yet
    Em              (C/E)              (A/E)         (C/E)
for they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
        C               (Am)           Em
as horses snorting fire, as they ride on hear their crys
chorus
       Em                         G
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
       Em
If you want to save your soul from hell, a riding on our range
     Em                (C/E)         (A/E)            (C/E)
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
C                              (Am)    Em
Trying to catch the devil's herd,    across these endless skies
