[Verse 1]
[A]I married I[G]sis on the f[D]ifth day of M[A]ay
But I could not hold [G]on to [D]her very [A]long
So I cut off my [G]hair and I [D]rode straight a[A]way
For the wild unknown [G]country
where I [D]could not go [A]wrong

[Interlude 1]
[A][A][A][A]

[Verse 2]
I [A]came to a [G]high place of [D]darkness and [A]light
Di [A]viding line [G]ran
through the [D]center of [A]town
I hitched up my [G]pony
to a [D]post on the [A]right
Went into to [G]laundry
to [D]wash my clothes [A]down

[Interlude 2]
[A][A][A][A]

[Verse 3]
A [A]man in the [G]corner
ap[D]proached me for a [A]match
I [A]knew right a[G]way he was [D]not [A]ordinary
He [A]said, are you [G]lookin'
for somethin' e[D]asy to [A]catch
[A]Said, I got no [G]money,
he said, that [D]ain't neces[A]sary

[A][G][D][A]

[Verse 4]
We [A]set out that [G]night for the [D]cold in the [A]North
I [A]gave him my blan[G]ket
and he [D]gave me his [A]word
I said, [A]where are we [G]goin',
he said we'd [D]be back by the [A]fourth
I said, [A]that's the best [G]news
that I've [D]ever [A]heard

[Solo 2]
[A][G][D][A]
[A][G][D][A]

[Verse 5]
I was [A]thinkin' about [G]turquoise,
I was [D]thinkin' about [A]gold
I was [A]thinkin' about [G]diamonds
and the [D]world's biggest [A]necklace
As we [A]rode through the [G]canyons,
through the [D]devilish [A]cold
I was [A]thinkin' about [G]Isis,
how she [D]thought I was so [A]reckless

[Interlude 3]
[A][A][A][A]

[Verse 6]
How she [A]told me that [G]one day
we would [D]meet up a[A]gain
And [A]things would be [G]different
the [D]next time we [A]wed
If I [A]only could [G]hang on and [D]just be her [A]friend
I [A]still can't [G]remember
all the [D]best things she [A]said

[Solo 3]
[A][G][D][A]
[A][G][D][A]

[Verse 7]
We [A]came to the [G]pyramids
all em[D]bedded in [A]ice
He [A]said, there's a [G]body I'm [D]tryin' to [A]find
If I [A]carry it [G]out it'll [D]bring a good [A]price
'Twas [A]then that I [G]knew
what he had on [D]his [A]mind

[Interlude 4]
[A][A][A][A]

[Verse 8]
The [A]wind it was a [G]howlin'
and the [D]snow was [A]outrageous
We [A]chopped through the [G]night
and we [D]chopped through the [A]dawn
When he [A]died I was [G]hopin'
that it [D]wasn't [A]contagious
But I [A]made up my [G]mind
that I [D]had to go [A]on

[Solo 4]

[A][A][A][A]

[Verse 9]
I [A]broke into the [G]tomb,
but the [D]casket was [A]empty
There was [A]no jewels, no [G]nothin',
I [D]felt I'd been [A]had
When I [A]saw that my [G]partner
was [D]just bein' [A]friendly
When I [A]took up his [G]offer
I [D]must-a been [A]mad

[Verse 10]
I [A]picked up his [G]body
and I [D]dragged him [A]inside
[A]Threw him down in the [G]hole
and I [D]put back the [A]cover
I [A]said a quick [G]prayer
and I [D]felt [A]satisfied
Then I [A]rode back to find [G]I sis
just to tell [D]her I love [A]her

[Solo 6]
[A][A][A][A]

[Verse 11]
She was [A]there in the [G]meadow
where the [D]creek used to [A]rise
[A]Blinded by [G]sleep and in need [D]of a [A]bed
[A]I came in from the E[G]ast
with the [D]sun in my [A]eyes
I [A]cursed her one [G]time
then I [D]rode on [A]ahead

[Verse 13]
[A]Isis, oh, [G]Isis, you [D]mystical [A]child
What [A]drives me to [G]you
is what [D]drives me in[A]sane
[A]I still can rem[G]ember
the [D]way that you [A]smiled
On the [A]fifth day of [G]May in the [D]drizzlin' [A]rain
