Ghost Riders In The Sky is one of them songs that has been covered by many artists, including Bing Crosby, Peggy Lee, Spike Jonze, Johnny Cash and of course the Blues Brothers for the soundtrack to their film, Blues Brothers 2000. It is believed to have inspired The Door's Riders Of The Storm. The key I believe the song is played in is E minor. Here's the song;EmAn old cowpoke went ridin' out one Ddark and windy day EmUpon a ridge he rested as he Bmwent along his way EmWhen all at once a mighty herd of Gred eyed cows he saw BmA-plowing through the ragged sky and Emup a cloudy drawEmTheir hooves was made of iron and tDheir horns was made of steel EmTheir brands was still on firBme and their hot breath he could feel EmA bolt of fear went through him asG they thundered through the sky BmFor he saw the Riders comin' hard andEm heard their mournful cryYippie yi Amaaaay Yippie yi Emohhhh, BmThe Ghost Herd in Emthe skyTheir faces gaunt, their eyes was blurred, their shirts was soaked with sweat They're ridin' hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet 'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky On horses snorting fire As they ride on hear their cry As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride Tryin' to catch that Devil's herd, across these endless skies Yippie yi aaaay Yippie yi ohhhh, The Ghost Riders in the sky The Ghost Riders in the skyyyy!
