But I could not hold on to her, very long
G

So I cut off my hair
G

For the wild unknown country
C

where I could not go wrong
C

darkness and light
C
G
through the center of town
F
C
I hitched up my pony on a post on the right
G

Went into a laundry
C

to wash my clothes down
C

he approached me for a match
And I knew right away
F

he was not ordinary
F

He said, that ain't necessar

for the cold in the north.
I gave him my blanket
F

He said, we'd be back by the fall.

G
I was thinking about turquoise
F
C
I was thinking about gold
G
F
I was thinking about diamonds
C
G
And the world's biggest necklace
G
F
I was thinkin' about Isis,
C
G
but she thought I was so reckless
G
F
And things would be different
C
F
the next time we met
G
F
If I could only hang out
G
F
Well I still can't remember
C
G
all the be st things she said
F
C
that I'm trying to find
G
F
C
G
If I carry it out, it'll bring a good price
It was then that I knew
F
C
G
F
C
G
F
C
what he had on his mind
G
F
The wind it was howlin'
C
F
and the snow was outrageous
F
C
and we chopped through the dawn
G
F
When he died I was hopin'
C
G
that it wasn't contagious
F
C
But I made up my mind that I had to go
G
F
C
G
F
C
G
F
on
C
G
F
C
F
C
but the casket was empty
G
F
There were no jewels, no nothing,
F
C

was just being friendly
When I took up his offer,

I picked up his body
F
C
G
and I dragged dragged him inside,
threw him down in the hole,
F
C
G
and I put back the cover.
I said a quick prayer,
F
C
G
and I felt satisfied.
Then I rode back to find Isis,
F
C
G
just to tell her I love her.
C
G
where the creek used to rise.
C
G
and in need of a bed.
C
G
with the sun in my eyes
I cursed her one time
F
C
G
and I rode on ahead
She said, where you been?
F
C
G
I said, no place special
She said, you look different
F
C
I said, well, I guess
F
C
I said, that's only natural
F
C
G
F
C
G
F
C
G
If you want me to, yes.
F
C
Isis, oh Isis, you mystical child
F

is what drives me insane

I still can't remember
C
G
the way that you smiled
