Verse 1
  (Am)                             (G)
An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and lonely day,
Am
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
(Am)                                                    (G) (F)
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
(F)                                   (C)          (Am)
a plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

           (G)                   (Am)     (F)     (Am)

Verse 2
     (Am)                                (G)
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)                                                            (G) (F)
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
(F)                                    (C)                  (Am)
He saw the riders coming hard... and he heard their mournful cry

           (G)                   (Am)  G  (F)     (Am)
             W                     W

Verse 3
    (Am)                                      (G)
The faces gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweat
    Am
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'aint caught 'em yet
    (Am)                                                     (G) (F)
'cause they've got to ride forever in the range up in the sky
 (F)                            (C)                 (Am)
On horses snorting fire as they ride hard hear them cry

           (G)                   (Am)  G  (F)     (Am)
             W                     W
