The best way to play this song is as follows: Intro | A | A | A | A A G D A I married Isis on the fifth day of May G D A But I could not hold on to her very long G D A So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away G D A | A | A || For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong. A G D A I came to a high place of darkness and light G D A The dividing line ran through the center of town G D A I hitched up my pony to a post on the right G D A | A | A || Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down. A G D A A man in the corner approached me for a match G D A I knew right away he was not ordinary G D 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". A G C A We set out that night for the cold in the North G D A I gave him my blanket he gave me his word G D A I said "Where are we going ?" He said "We'd be back by the fourth" G D A I said "That's the best news that I've ever heard". A G D A I was thinking about turquoise I was thinking about gold G D A I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace G D A As we rode through the canyons through the devilish cold G D A I was thinking about Isis how she thought I was so reckless. A G D A How she told me that one day we meet up again G D A And things would be different the next time we wed G D A If I only could hang on and just be her friend G D A I still can't remember all the best things she said. A G D A We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice G D A He said "There's a body I'm trying to find G D A If I carry it out it'll bring a good price" G D A It was then that I knew what he had on his mind. A G D A The wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous G D A We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn G D A When he died I was hoping that it wasn't contagious G D A But I made up my mind that I had to go on. A G D A I broke into the tomb but the casket was empty G D A There was no jewels no nothing I felt I'd been had G D A When I saw that my partner was just being friendly G D A When I took up his offer I must-a been mad. A G D A I picked up his body and I dragged him inside G D A Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover G D A I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied G D A Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her. A G D A She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise G D A Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed G D A I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes G A I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead. A G D A She said "Where ya been ?" I said "No place special ?" G D A She said "You look different" I said "Well I guess" G D A She said "You been gone" I said "That's only natural" G D A She said "You gonna stay ?" I said "If you want me to, Yeah ". G F C G Isis oh Isis you mystical child F C G What drives me to you is what drives me insane F C G I still can remember the way that you smiled F C G On the fifth day of May in the drizzling rain.
