I married Isis on the fifth day of May
G

But I could not hold on to her very long
G

So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away

For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong.

I came to a high place of darkness and light
G

The dividing line ran through the center of town
G

I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
G

Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down.

A man in the corner approached me for a match
G
D
A
A
I knew right away he was not ordinary
G
D
A
A
He said "Are you looking for something easy to catch ?"
G
D
A

I said "I got no money". He said "That ain't necessary".

I was thinking about turquoise I was thinking about gold
G
D
A
A
I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace
G
D
A
A
As we rode through the canyons through the devilish cold
G
D
A
A
I was thinking about Isis how she thought I was so reckless.
G
D
A
A
A
A
A
A
How she told me that one day we meet up again
G
D
A
A
And things would be different the next time we wed
G
D
A
A
If I only could hang on and just be her friend
G
D
A
A
I still can't remember all the best things she said.

We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice
G
D
A
A
He said "There's a body I'm trying to find
G
D
A
A
If I carry it out it'll bring a good price"
G
D
A
A
It was then that I knew what he had on his mind.
G

A
A
A
A
The wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous
G
D
A
A
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
G

A
A
When he died I was hoping that it wasn't contagious
G
D
A
A
But I made up my mind that I had to go on.

I broke into the tomb but the casket was empty
G
D
A
A
There was no jewels no nothing I felt I'd been had
G
D
A
A
When I saw that my partner was just being friendly
G
D
A
A
When I took up his offer I must?a been mad.

I picked up his body and I dragged him inside

Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover

I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied
G

Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her.

She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise
G
D
A
A
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed
G
D
A
A
I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes
G
D
A
A
I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead.
