Biography:
An impressionable 12 year old rode to the top of an Arizona hill one afternoon with an old Cowboy friend to check a windmill. A big storm was building and they needed to lock the blades down before the wind hit. When finished, they paused to watch the clouds darken and spread across the sky. As lightning flashed, the Cowboy told the boy to watch closely and he would see the devil's herd, their eyes red and hooves flashing, stampede ahead of phantom horsemen.

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;
Em D
An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and windy day
Em Bm
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
Em G
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
Bm Em
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up a cloudy draw
Em D
Their hooves was made of iron and their horns was made of steel
Em Bm
Their brands was still on fire and their hot breath he could feel
Em G
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
Bm Em
For he saw the Riders comin' hard and heard their mournful cry
Am
Yippie yi aaaay
Em
Yippie yi ohhhh,
Bm Em
The Ghost Herd in the sky
Their 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!
