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

We set out [G] that night, from [D] the cold in the [E] north.
[A] I gave him my [G] blanket, [D] and he gave me his [A] word.
I said, where we [D] going?
He said, we'll be back by the fourth.
I said, that's the best news that I've ever [E] heard.
I was thinking about [G] turquoise.
I was thinking about [E] gold.
I was thinking about diamonds.
And the [D] [G] world's biggest necklace.
[A] As we rode [G] through the canyons, [E] through the devilish cold.
I was thinking about ISIS.
As [C] you saw, I [A] was so reckless.
Told me though, that [G] one day, [D] we would meet up [A] again.
And things would be [D]
different, the next time [A] we ran.
I could [D] only just hang on, and be her [A] friend.
Still can't [D]
remember, but the [A] best thing she said.

[G] back by the fourth.
[D] [A]
Came [G] through the [D] pyramids, all embedded in [A]
ice.
He said, there's [D] a body that I'm trying to [A] find.
If I carry it [G]
out, [D] it'll bring a good [Am]
price.
Was there that I [G]
knew, what [D] he had on his [A] mind.
When the wind, it was [D]
howling.
And the snow was [A] outranging.
He chopped through the [D]
beds, and we chopped through the [A]
dawn.
When he died, I was [G] hoping, [D] that it wasn't [E] contagious.
But I made up my [G]
mind, [A] that I had to get up.

[A] I picked up his [G] body, [D] and I dug it [A] inside.
Threw him down in a [G] hole, [D] and I put back the [A] cover.
I said a quick [G]
prayer, just [D] to feel [A] satisfied.
Then I went back to [G] find ISIS, just another [Em] hot lover.
[A] She was there, [D] in the middle, where the creek used to [A]
rise.
Blinded by [D]
sleep, and in need of [A] a bed.
I came [D] in from the east, with blood in [B] my eyes.
[E] Cursed her one time, and I rolled on my head.
[A] She said, where you [G] been?
[D] She said, no place [E]
special.
She said, you look [G] different.
I said, [D] well, I [Am] guess.
She said, you've been [G]
cursed.
It's [D] all natural.
[Am]
She said, you [D] gonna stay?
I said, if you're [Bm] lucky, I will.

I'm driving, [G] me and you, [D] ain't no God for you [A] to save.
I'm still, [G] can't remember, [F#m] the way [E] that you died.
I'm a fearful, [G] pain in the neck, [Dm] and a helpless [A]
slave.
I'm a [E]
[Am]
[E]
fearful, pain in the neck, and a helpless slave.
[A]
