Verse 1: G I got a little story that I'd like to tell D G about a boy named bishop, who lived atop this hill people called him a slow boy, said he weren't all there D E but he never harmed none, no, he wouldn't dare Bridge 1: C G but when the neighbor's daughter said the child was his D E well, the people turned then and wanted blood for his sins C G bishop tried to tell them that none had shared his bed D G but the words escaped him; he found tears instead Verse 2: G well his father begged then for him to bend his knee D G that they might be lenient, in time would set him free but the boy just stood there with a steady gaze D E and said they'd have to break him, 'cause bending weren't his way Bridge 2: C G so they came and took him, and dragged him off in chains D E and with the town as witness, he was forced to pay C G it weren't 'til he was gone that the girl cleared his name D G and now his ghost still haunts us to this very day Outro: (Accompanied by humming) G C G D E C G D G ************************************ | x Dead note | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off
