Verse 1
  (Am)                             (G)
An old cowboy went ridin' out one dark and windy 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 steers he saw

(F)                                   (C)          (Am)
a plowin' through the ragged skies, 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... Heard their mournful cry


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

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 it yet

    (Am)                                                     (G) (F)
'cause they've got to ride forever on the range up in the sky

 (F)                            (C)                 (Am)
On horses snorting fire, as they ride off hear their cry

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