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
