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---|
