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