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

  A          G             D     
I came to a high place of 
        A
darkness and light
                   G             
The dividing line ran through the 
    D         A
center of town
                 G        D       
I hitched up my pony to a post on 
      A
the right
             G          D     
Went in to a laundry to wash my 
           A     | A | A ||
clothes down.

   A             G   D           
A man in the corner approached me
         A
 for a match
                    G       
I knew right away he was not 
    D         A
ordinary
                     G      
He said "Are you looking for 
            D        A
something easy to catch ?"
                 G              
I said "I got no money". He said 
   D             A
"That ain't necessary".

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

        A             G           
I was thinking about turquoise I 
     D                A
was thinking about gold

                     G           
I was thinking about diamonds and 
     D                  A
the world's biggest necklace
                        G     
As we rode through the canyons 
               D       A
through the devilish cold
                      G          
I was thinking about Isis how she 
   D                A
thought I was so reckless.

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


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

    A            G                
The wind it was howling and the 
  D         A
snow was outrageous
                        G          
We chopped through the night and we
    D                 A
 chopped through the dawn
                       G          
When he died I was hoping that it 
D           A
wasn't contagious
                  G           D   
But I made up my mind that I had 
      A
to go on.

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

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

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

       A           G              
She said "Where ya been ?" I said 
   D          A
"No place special"
                   G               
She said "You look different" I 
    D          A
said "Well I guess"
                   G           
She said "You been gone" I said 
         D         A
"That's only natural"
                     G             
She said "You gonna stay ?" I said 
      D            A
"If you want me to, Yeah ".

A         G          D        A
Isis oh Isis you mystical child
                   G           D  
What drives me to you is what 
         A
drives me insane
           G               D      
I still can remember the way that 
        A
you smiled
                    G         
On the fifth day of May in the 
   D       A
drizzling rain.
