/ Am / / F / AmWhen / all at once a / mighty herd of / red-eyed cows he / saw,
Am / F / / / F / Am / / /Plowin' through the / ragged sky, / / and / up a cloudy / draw, / / /
/ Am / / C / Am / /
Their / brands were still on / fire and their / hooves were made of / steel, / /
Their / horns were black and / shiny and their / hot breath he could / feel, / /
/ Am / / F / AmA / bolt of fear went / through him as they / thundered through the / sky,
/ Am / F / / / / Am / /For he / saw the riders / coming hard, / / and he / heard their mournful / cry. / /

Their / faces gaunt, their / eyes were blurred, their / shirts all soaked with / sweat, / /
He's / ridin' hard to / catch that herd but / he ain't caught them / yet, / /
/ Am / / F / AmCause they've / got to ride for - / ever on that / range up in the / sky,
