Ghost Riders In The Sky By Johnny Cash – Ghost Riders In The Sky Chords (Capo 1)
Ghost Riders In The Sky Chords/Lyrics/Verse
Am C
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Am
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
Am
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
F Dm Am
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw
Ghost Riders In The Sky Chords/Lyrics/Verse 2
Am C
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Am
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
Am
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
F Dm Am
For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry
Ghost Riders In The Sky Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Yippie yi yaaaaay

Ghost Riders In The Sky Chords/Lyrics/Verse 3
Am C
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
Am
He’s riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain’t caught ’em yet
Am
‘Cause they’ve got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
F
On horses snorting fire
Dm Am
As they ride on hear their cry
Ghost Riders In The Sky Chords/Lyrics/Verse 4
Am C
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
Am
If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range
Am
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
F Dm Am
Trying to catch the Devil’s herd, across these endless skies
Ghost Riders In The Sky Chords/Lyrics/Chorus
Am C
Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Yippie yi yaaaaay
F Dm Am
Ghost Riders in the sky
F Dm Am
Ghost Riders in the sky
F Dm Am

Johnny Cash
John R. Cash (born J. R. Cash; February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, actor, and author. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 90 million records worldwide. His genre-spanning songs and sound embraced country, rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal won Cash the rare honor of being inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame.
Born in Arkansas to poor cotton farmers, Cash rose to fame in the prominent country music scene in Memphis, Tennessee, after four years in the United States Air Force. Cash was known for his deep, calm bass-baritone voice, the distinctive sound of his Tennessee Three backing band characterized by train-like chugging guitar rhythms, a rebelliousness coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor, free prison concerts, and a trademark, all-black stage wardrobe, which earned him the nickname “The Man in Black”. He traditionally began his concerts by simply introducing himself, “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash,” followed by his signature song “Folsom Prison Blues”.
Much of Cash’s music contained themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption, especially in the later stages of his career. His other signature songs include “I Walk the Line”, “Ring of Fire”, “Get Rhythm”, and “Man in Black”. He also recorded humorous numbers like “One Piece at a Time” and “A Boy Named Sue”; a duet with his future wife, June Carter, called “Jackson” (followed by many further duets after their wedding); and railroad songs including “Hey, Porter”, “Orange Blossom Special”, and “Rock Island Line”. During the last stage of his career, Cash covered songs by several late-20th-century rock artists, notably “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails, “Rusty Cage” by Soundgarden and “Rowboat” by Beck
