This is my personal tribute to Johnny Cash. A man who I truely admire as a musician and human being. I have requested countless times for his song "hurt" to be played at my own funeral. It was a sad day when I heard the news of his death. In the past I have taken this song and incorporated a metal fashion play riff. Otherwise I added a bit of my own music into it along with a fitting solo. When remaking a piece of music from someone else it has never been my focus to out do the original. But play it with your own heart as to compliment it. I have always wanted to do this, but until now I always kept it to myself. Only playing the music as a warm up. In order to keep the music industry from sueing and trying to get a cut out of it, I have changed a few lyrics. So this is not the original song, but my own incorporation of it. Rest in peice Johnny and may your music live on...

GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY


An old cowboy went ridin' out
One dark and windy day,
Upon a ridge he rested as
He went along his way,
When all at once a mighty herd
Of red-eyed cows he saw,
Plowing through the ragged skies
And up the cloudy draw.

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,
A bolt of fear went through him as
They thundered through the sky,
For he saw the riders comin' hard
And he heard their mournful cry:

Yippee-yi-ay,yippee-yi-oh, 
Ghost riders in the sky

As the riders rode on by him
He heard one call his name,
hey nighthorse you want to save your soul from hell
Ridin' on our range,
Then cowboy change your ways today,
Or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the devil's herd
Across these endless skies.

Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred
Their shirts all soaked with sweat,
Im riding hard to catch that herd
But I ain't caught 'em yet,
'cause we've got to ride forever on
That range up in the sky,
On horses snortin' fire
As they ride on hear me cry

Yippee-yi-ay,Yippee-yi-oh

Ghost riders in the sky

Ghost riders in the sky

Ghost riders in the sky
