I married Isis on the fifth day of May
D
A
E
E
But I could not hold on to her very long
D
A
E
E
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
D
A
E
E
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong.
D

E
E
I came to a high place of darkness and light
D
A
E
E
The dividing line ran through the center of town
D
A
E
E
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
D
A
E
E
Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down.
D
A
E
E
E
E
E
E
A man in the corner approached me for a match
D
A
E
E
I knew right away he was not ordinary
D
A
E
E
He said "Are you looking for something easy to catch ?"
D
A
E
E
I said "I got no money". He said "That ain't necessary".

We set out that night for the cold in the North
D
A
E
E
I gave him my blanket he gave me his word
D
A
E
E
I said "Where are we going ?" He said "We'd be back by the fourth"
D
A
E
E
I said "That's the best news that I've ever heard".

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

We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice
D
A
E
E
He said "There's a body I'm trying to find
D
A
E
E
If I carry it out it'll bring a good price"
D
A
E
E
It was then that I knew what he had on his mind.
D
A
E
E
E
E
E
E
The wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous
D
A
E
E
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
D
A
E
E
When he died I was hoping that it wasn't contagious
D
A
E
E
But I made up my mind that I had to go on.

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

I picked up his body and I dragged him inside
D
A
E
E
Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
D
A
E
E
I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied
D
A
E
E
Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her.
D

E
E

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

Isis oh Isis you mystical child

I still can remember the way that you smiled
D

E
E
On the fifth day of May in the drizzling rain.
