      [Verse 1]
Em                                  G
An old cowboy went out and bought a ranch in '65
Em                            G
Spent all of his money and no cattle could he buy.
Em
So he called up Colonel Sanders and asked, "What should I do?"
C                      Am                              Em
The Colonel said, "Buy chickens, and build the chicken coop."

[Verse 2]
Em                                       G
Now he's been a chicken rancher since he was 24
Em                                    G
Yeah, workin' for the Colonel now for 30 years or more!
Em
Ah, fixing all those chickens up and sending them to fry,
C                      Am                    Em
now they want revenge. Ghost Chickens in the Sky!

[Chorus]
Em          G
Chickens to bake,
G               Em
and chickens to fry.
C              Am     Em
Ghost Chickens in the Sky!

[Verse 3]
Em                          G
He was out a walkin' on his chicken ranch one day
Em                                      G
He stopped along the chicken coop as he went along his way,
Em
and all at once a rotten egg, it hit 'em in the eye.
C                  Am                           Em
It was, a terrible sight. Ghost Chickens in the Sky!
 
[Chorus]
Em          G
Chickens to bake,
G               Em
and chickens to fry.
C              Am     Em
Ghost Chickens in the Sky!

[Verse 4]
Em                                                       G
Their beaks are black and shiny and their eyes are fiery red.
Em                                                                  G
These chickens ain't got no feathers, folks, these chickens all are dead!
Em
And they pecked on that rancher, he died by the claw.
C                                    Am                   Em
They fixed him extra crispy,and they served him with coldslaw.

[Chorus]
Em             G
Chicky-eye-aa, Chicky-eye-ooh!
C              Am     Em
Ghost Chickens in the Sky!

[Verse 5]
Em                                               G
Now let this song remind you if you want eternal peace,
Em                                                     G
don't raise up harmless poultry for to cook 'em in the grease!
Em
For if you raise animals that you will someday kill,
C                                        Am         Em
a chicken may come to haunt you. Oh, but tofu never will.

[Outro]
Em         G              Em
Chicky-eye-aa, chicky-eye-ooh
C     Am              Em
Ghost Chickens in the Sky!
