Capo 1

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

[A]I married I[G]sis 
on the f[D]ifth day of Ma[A]y
But I could not hol[G]d on 
to he[D]r very long[A]
So I cut off my ha[G]ir 
and I ro[D]de straight a[A]way
For the wild unknown c[G]ountry 
where I c[D]ould not go wron[A]g[A][A]

I [A]came to a h[G]igh place 
of d[D]arkness and li[A]ght
The dividing line r[G]an 
through the cen[D]ter of tow[A]n
I hitched up my p[G]ony 
to a [D]post on the ri[A]ght
Went in to a [G]laundry 
to [D]wash my clothes d[A]own[A][A]

A m[A]an in the corn[G]er 
a[D]pproached me for a ma[A]tch
I knew right away 
he[G] was not ord[D]inary[A]
He said Are you look[G]ing for 
something e[D]asy to ca[A]tch
I said I got no [G]money 
He said T[D]hat aint nece[A]ssary

We [A]set out that [G]night 
for the co[D]ld in the N[A]orth
I gave him my bla[G]nket 
he ga[D]ve me his w[A]ord
I said Where are we g[G]oing 
He said Wed [D]be back by the f[A]ourth
I said that's the [G]best 
news that Ive[D] ever[A]heard

I was th[A]inking about t[G]urquoise 
I was th[D]inking about gold[A]
I was thinking about [G]diamonds 
and the [D]worlds biggest nec[A]klace
As we rode through the c[G]anyons 
through the de[D]vilish c[A]old
I was thinking about I[G]sis 
how she th[D]ought I was so re[A]ckless

How she [A]told me that on[G]e day 
we will m[D]eet up agai[A]n
And things would be di[G]fferent 
the n[D]ext time we [A]wed
If I only could [G]hang on 
and jus[D]t be her fr[A]iend
I still can't remember 
a[G]ll the b[D]est things s[A]he said

We [A]came to the pyra[G]mids 
all em[D]bedded in ic[A]e
He said there's a bod[G]y 
I'm tr[D]ying to fi[A]nd
If I carry it [G]out 
it'll [D]bring a good pri[A]ce
It was then that I kn[G]ew 
what he h[D]ad on his mi[A]nd

The [A]wind it was h[G]owling 
and the snow[D] was outra[A]geous
We chopped through the n[G]ight 
and we cho[D]pped through the d[A]awn
When he died I was hopi[G]ng 
that it [D]wasn't conta[A]gious
But I made up my m[G]ind 
that I h[D]ad to go o[A]n

I b[A]roke into the [G]tomb 
but the c[D]asket was e[A]mpty
There was no jewels no noth[G]ing 
I [D]felt I'd been [A]had
When I saw that my pa[G]rtner 
was just b[D]eing fr[A]iendly
When I took up his [G]offer 
I [D]must-a been [A]mad

I[A] picked up his [G]body 
and I d[D]ragged him in[A]side
Threw him down in the h[G]ole 
and I p[D]ut back the c[A]over
I said a quick prayer 
an[G]d I f[D]elt satis[A]fied
Then I rode back to find [G]Isis 
just to[D] tell her I love [A]her

She was th[A]ere in the meadow[G] 
where the c[D]reek used to ri[A]se
Blinded by[G] sleep 
and in ne[D]ed of a b[A]ed
I came in from the East[G] 
with the sun[D] in my ey[A]es
I cursed her one [G]time 
then I rode on ahea[A]d

She sai[A]d Where ya [G]been 
I said No[D] place spec[A]ial
She said You look [G]different 
I said W[D]ell I guess[A]
She said You been [G]gone 
I said that's [D]only natur[A]al
She said You gonna s[G]tay 
I said If yo[D]u want me to[A]Yeah 

[A]Isis oh Is[G]is 
you myst[D]ical chil[A]d
What drives me to y[G]ou 
is what d[D]rives me ins[A]ane
I still can[G] remember 
the wa[D]y that you smil[A]ed
On the fifth day of [G]May 
in the dr[D]izzling [A]rain
