Here are the chords for "Bishop Mariah", a catchy tune by a great up and
coming band, Elephant Ride. Since I didn't see anything posted at all
for Elephant Ride, I figured I should rectify the situation! Enjoy, and
buy their cd "Forget"!

"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:
Bishop__ Ma-riah__
He's not re-ligious though his name sounds that way.
Jason__, little Jason__.
He went to Bishop when the other kids played.
(tacet)
His mom worked all day. His father was buried last May.
(Enter drums, bass, electric, background vocals, etc.)
Verse 2:
Bishop__ Ma-riah__
Do you____ think that Heaven's got a zoo?

Verse 3:
Jason__ grew nervous__.
He'd___ never seen eyes like these before.

What a cold eclectic welcome he gave and the boy was afraid.

which is just bass and drum)
