For the whole song, you don't play 
the high e, just fingerpick the 
chords and act like it isn't there.


[Verse 1]

               G
I got a little story that I'd like 
to tell
                     D             
about a boy named bishop, who lived
             G
 atop this hill

people called him a slow boy, said 
he weren't all there
                     D          
but he never harmed none, no, he 
           E
wouldn't dare


[Bridge 1]

                           C    
but when the neighbor's daughter 
                      G
said the child was his

                          D     
well, the people turned then and 
                         E
wanted blood for his sins
                 C                 
bishop tried to tell them that none
                  G
 had shared his bed
                       D           
but the words escaped him; he found
            G
 tears instead


[Verse 2]

                    G
well his father begged then for him 
to bend his knee
                      D            
that they might be lenient, in time
                G
 would set him free

but the boy just stood there with a 
steady gaze
                               D   
and said they'd have to break him, 
                            E
'cause bending weren't his way


[Bridge 2]

                       C      
so they came and took him, and 
                      G
dragged him off in chains
                       D           
and with the town as witness, he 
               E
was forced to pay
                        C          
it weren't 'til he was gone that 
                     G
the girl cleared his name
                          D        
and now his ghost still haunts us 
             G
to this very day
