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.
G C G C G (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?
I can see both sides of the sun.
It's by walking that I know how to run and boy I can run.
You will never see me in just one place it's not fun anyway.
Verse 3:
Jason__ grew nervous__.
He'd___ never seen eyes like these before.
Ene-my despised, Son of God.
What a cold eclectic welcome he gave and the boy was afraid.
You can fight and steal and fall and spit
the fun's in the hunt just don't let me catch____ you____.
Bridge:
(same pattern on G C through until "Bop bop's" (listen to the cd),
which is just bass and drum)
(back to just accoustic to end the song)
Verse 4:
G C G C G C (tacet)
