Here is another version of the Sons of the Pioneers' '"Ghost Riders In the 
Sky" with the rarely recorded 3rd verse.
 
 GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY - by Bob Nolan and the Sons of the PioneersÊ 
  
 Verse 1:
 An [Em]old cowpoke went riding out, one [G]dark and windy day, 
  U[Em]pon a ridge he rested as he [G]went along his way,
 When [Em]all at once a [Em#7]mighty herd of [Em7]red-eyed cows he [A9]saw,
 A[C]plowin' through the ragged skies, and [Am]left a cloudy [Em]draw. 
 
 1st Chorus:
 Yippie-i-[G]ay, Yippie-i-ohh[Em Em#7 Em7 A9Ê C]Ghost herd [Am]in the [Em]sky.ÊÊ 
 
 Verse 2:
 Their [Em]horns were black and shiny, and their [G[hoofs were made of steel.
 Their [Em]brand was still on fire, and their [G]hot breath he could feel.
 A [Em]bolt of fear went [Em#7]through him as they [Em7]thundered through the [A9]sky.
 For he [C]saw the riders comin' hard, and he [Am]heard their mournful [Em]cry. 
 
 2nd Chorus:
 Yippie-i-[G]ay, Yippie-i-ohh[Em Em#7 Em7 A9Ê C]Ghost Riders [Am]in the [Em]sky.ÊÊ 
 
 Verse 3:
 Their [Em]faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their [G]shirts were soaked with sweat.
 They're [Em]ridin' hard to catch that herd but [G]they ain't caught 'em yet
 'Cause they've [Em]got to ride [Em#7]forever on that [Em7]range up in the [A9]sky.
 On [C]horses snortin' fire, as they [Am]ride on, hear their [Em]cry.
 
 Repeat 2nd Chorus:
 Yippie-i-[G]ay, Yippie-i-ohh[Em Em#7 Em7 A9Ê C]Ghost Riders [Am]in the [Em]sky.ÊÊ 
 
 Verse 4:
 As the [Em]riders loped on by him, he heard [G]one call out his name.
 "If you [Em]want to save your soul from hell a-[G]ridin' on our range."
 "Then [Em]cowboy, change your [Em#7]ways today or [Em7]with us you will [A9]ride,
 a-[C]tryin' to catch the devil's herd a[Am]cross these endless [Em]skies." 
 
 Repeat 2nd Chorus:
 Yippie-i-[G]ay, Yippie-i-ohh[Em Em#7 Em7 A9Ê C]Ghost Riders [Am]in the [Em]sky.ÊÊ
