Poor Bishop Hooper


Tom: Am

Am                 Dm       Am
Orphaned child, or shadowed man
Am                          G          Am
Your brow bright gold, your birthright unknown
Am                 Dm      Am
Do either know for what I wait?
Am         G    E   Am
No neither know the hour


[Chorus]
    Dm         Am         E
Oh, lamp light stay by my tired side
Am              Dm      Am               E               Am
I can't miss the new sun shining when this night is finally done


[Verse 2]
Am                  Dm      Am
A set trap sits in anxious pain
Am                     G       Am
A balanced thirst with slight foretaste
Am                   Dm     Am
As freedom seeks to be unleashed
Am                      G             E                    Am
Like a desert waits for water or the first man seeks his "Eve"


[Chorus]
    Dm         Am         E
Oh, lamp light stay by my tired side
Am               Dm      Am                E              Am
I can't miss the new sun shining when this life is finally done


[Verse 3]
Am                  Dm                 Am
Don't be blind with worry, or eye-closed sleep
Am                G       Am
For a noble Thief lies in waiting
Am                       Dm            Am
Two will slave and toil, but only one rеmain
Am                G         E       Am
Alone he stands, and forevеr he will be


[Chorus]
    Dm        Am          E
Oh, lamp light stay by my tired side
Am               Dm      Am                E              Am
I can't miss the new sun shining when the morning finally comes
    Dm         Am         E
Oh, lamp light stay by my tired side
Am              Dm        Am                E           Am
I can't miss the new sun shining when the glory finally comes
