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                          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
