Capo 1st

[Intro]
| A | A | A | A

[Verses]
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
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 will 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.
