[Ab] [Bb]
I [Ab] married Isis [Eb] on the fifth day of [Bb] May, but I could not [Ab] hold on to [Eb] her very [Bb] long.
So I cut off [Ab] my hair [Eb] and I rode [Bb] straight away,
over the wild and [Ab] lone country where [Eb] I could not [Bb] go wrong.
I came to [Ab] a high place [Eb] of darkness and [Bb] light.
The biting [Ab] line ran [Eb] through the center [Bb] of town.
I hitched up [Ab] my pony [Eb] to a post on the [Bb] right.
Went into [Ab] a laundrette, I [Eb] washed my [Bb] clothes down.
A man [Ab] in the corner [Eb] approached me [Bb] for a match.
I knew right [Ab] away he [Eb] was not [Bb] ordinary.
He said, [Ab] are you looking for [Eb] something easy to [Bb] catch?
I said, I got no [Ab] money.
He said, that [Eb] ain't [Bb] necessary.

[Bb] He set [Ab] out that night for [Eb] the cold [Bb] in the north.
I gave [Ab] him my blanket [Eb] and he gave me [Bb] his word.
I said, where are we [Ab] going?
He [Eb] said, we'll be back by [Bb] the fourth.
I said, [Ab] that's the best news [Eb] that I've ever
[Bb] heard.
[Ab] [Eb]
[Bb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Bb] I was thinking [Ab] about turquoise, [Eb] I was thinking [Bb] about gold.
I was thinking [Ab] about diamonds [Eb] and the [Bb] world's biggest necklace.
As we rode [Ab] through the canyons, [Eb] through the [Bb] devilish cold.
I was thinking [Ab] about ISIS.
[Eb] I thought I was so [Bb] reckless.
She told me [Ab] that one day we [Eb] would meet up [Bb] again.
And things would [Ab] be different [Eb] the next time we [Bb] met.
If I only [Ab] could hang on [Eb] and just be her [Bb] friend.
I still can't [Ab] remember all [Eb] the best things she [Bb] said.
[Ab] [Eb]
[Bb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Bb] We came to [Ab] the pyramids all [Eb] in bed and in [Bb] ice.
He said, [Ab] there's a body [Eb] I'm trying to [Bb] find.
If I carry it [Ab] out, it'll [Eb] bring a [Bb] good price.
Plus the thing that I [Ab] knew [Eb] what he had on his [Bb] mind.
The wind, it was a [Ab] howling and the [Eb] snow was outrageous.
[Bb] We chopped through the [Ab] night and we [Eb] chopped through the [Bb] dawn.
When he died, I [Ab] was hoping that [Eb] it wasn't contagious.
[Bb] But I made up my [Ab] mind that I [Eb] had to go [Bb] on.
[Ab] [Eb]
[Bb]
I broke into the [Ab] tomb, [Eb] but the casket was [Bb] empty.
There was no jewels, [Ab] no nothing.
[Eb] I spilled all that I [Bb] had.
When I saw [Ab] that my partner was [Eb] just being [Bb] friendly.
When I took [Ab] up his offer, [Eb] I must have been [Bb] mad.

I picked up his [Ab] body and [Eb] I dragged him [Bb] inside.
Threw him down in [Ab] the hole and [Eb] I put back the cover.
[Bb] I said a quick [Ab] prayer and [Eb] I felt satisfied.
[Bb] Then I rode back to [Ab] find Isis just [Eb] to tell her I love [Bb] her.
She was there [Ab] in the meadow while [Eb] the creek used to [Bb] rise.
Blinded [Ab] by sleep [Eb] and in need of a [Bb] bed.
I came in [Ab] from the east [Eb] with the sun in my [Bb] eyes.
I cursed her [Ab] one time, [Eb] then I rode out [Bb] ahead.

[Eb] I said, that's only [Bb] natural.
