"Bishop Mariah" by Elephant Ride


Each chord is played for one measure. The song starts off with an
accoustic and single vocal.  The song really doesn't have a chorus, just
four verses and a bridge.

When changing from C to G, Dave Martin plays the following little riff:
D |---0/2\0---|


Verse 1:

G     C     G   C
Bishop__ Ma-riah__
G           C                  G                C
He's not re-ligious though his name sounds that way.
G    C          G    C
Jason__, little Jason__.
G          C               G          C
He went to Bishop when the other kids played.
    G              C        G          C           G (tacet)

        D              G           C       G         C

         G         C              G                  C
