[Verses]
G F C G
I married Isis on the fifth day of May
F C G
But I could not hold on to her very long
F C G
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
F C G | G | G ||
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong.
G F C G
I came to a high place of darkness and light
F C G
The dividing line ran through the center of town
F C G
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
F C G | G | G ||
Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down.
G F C G
G man in the corner approached me for a match
F C G
I knew right away he was not ordinary
F C G
He said "Are you looking for something easy to catch ?"
F C G
I said "I got no money". He said "That ain't necessary".
G F A# G
We set out that night for the cold in the North
F C G
I gave him my blanket he gave me his word
F C G
I said "Where are we going ?" He said "We'd be back by the fourth"
F C G
I said "That's the best news that I've ever heard".
G F C G
I was thinking about turquoise I was thinking about gold
F C G
I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace
F C G
As we rode through the canyons through the devilish cold
F C G
I was thinking about Isis how she thought I was so reckless.
G F C G
How she told me that one day we will meet up again
F C G
And things would be different the next time we wed
F C G
If I only could hang on and just be her friend
F C G
I still can't remember all the best things she said.
G F C G
We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice
F C G
He said "There's a body I'm trying to find
F C G
If I carry it out it'll bring a good price"
F C G
It was then that I knew what he had on his mind.
G F C G
The wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous
F C G
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
F C G
When he died I was hoping that it wasn't contagious
F C G
But I made up my mind that I had to go on.
G F C G
I broke into the tomb but the casket was empty
F C G
There was no jewels no nothing I felt I'd been had
F C G
When I saw that my partner was just being friendly
F C G
When I took up his offer I must-a been mad.
G F C G
I picked up his body and I dragged him inside
F C G
Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
F C G
I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied
F C G
Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her.
G F C G
She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise
F C G
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed
F C G
I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes
F G
I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead.
G F C G
She said "Where ya been ?" I said "No place special"
F C G
She said "You look different" I said "Well I guess"
F C G
She said "You been gone" I said "That's only natural"
F C G
She said "You gonna stay ?" I said "If you want me to, Yeah ".
G F C G
Isis oh Isis you mystical child
F C G
What drives me to you is what drives me insane
F C G
I still can remember the way that you smiled
F C G
On the fifth day of May in the drizzling rain.
