I married Isis on the fifth day of May

Bb ONE_MAJOR

C

C

But I could not hold on to her very long

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

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

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I came to a high place of darkness and light

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

The dividing line ran through the center of town

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I hitched up my pony to a post on the right

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down.

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

A man in the corner approached me for a match

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I knew right away he was not ordinary

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

He said "Are you looking for something easy to catch ?"

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

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

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

We set out that night for the cold in the North

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I gave him my blanket he gave me his word

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I said "Where are we going ?" He said "We'd be back by the fourth"

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I said "That's the best news that I've ever heard".

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I was thinking about turquoise I was thinking about gold

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

As we rode through the canyons through the devilish cold

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I was thinking about Isis how she thought I was so reckless.

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

How she told me that one day we meet up again

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

And things would be different the next time we wed

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

If I only could hang on and just be her friend

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I still can't remember all the best things she said.

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

He said "There's a body I'm trying to find

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

If I carry it out it'll bring a good price"

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

It was then that I knew what he had on his mind.

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

The wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

When he died I was hoping that it wasn't contagious

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

But I made up my mind that I had to go on.

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I broke into the tomb but the casket was empty

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

There was no jewels no nothing I felt I'd been had

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

When I saw that my partner was just being friendly

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

When I took up his offer I must?a been mad.

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I picked up his body and I dragged him inside

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

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

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

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

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes

Bb ONE_MAJOR

F

C

C

I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead.
