Biography:
Dry the River were a folk rock band from Stratford, London, UK, formed in spring 2009. Frontman Peter Liddle decribes their sound as "folky gospel music played by a post-punk band". Currently, the band consists of Peter Liddle (vocals, guitar), Matthew Taylor (guitar, keys, vocals), Scott Miller (bass, percussion, vocals) and Jon Warren (drums, percussion). The original lineup also included Will Harvey (violin, viola, keys, mandolin); however, he left the band in early 2014.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is my take on an acoustic version of this song since I couldn't find chords for it anywhere!
[Verse 1]
D Cmaj7 D
So the priceless blue diamond is cursed,
C D
and we both got hurt.
D Cmaj7 D
Maybe I stand in a minefield of words,
Cadd9 D
but I asked you first.
[Chorus 1]
Em Bm G G
Those early encounters, with the hurtful lies of kids.
D D
I remember what you did
A7 Bm G G
Covered your arms in a curtain-shawl, bloodied your palms
Em Em
on the elementary wall.
D
If it seems too far, it is.
[Verse 2]
D Cmaj7 D
I was out there in the cradle of thorns
C D
when your fears took form.
D Cmaj7 D
And the truth is maybe your fear's a wall.
Cadd9 D
But it's not that tall.
[Chorus 2]
Em Bm G G
If you want me you show me in a most unusual way,
D
In a most unusual way.
A7 Bm G G
Under the eyes of a frozen lake I saw your fire,
Em Em
and it served me not to wait.
D
But it hurt me all the same.
[Ending]
A7 Bm G G
You had to chase an electric storm and you had to wait
Em Em
for the violent wind to calm,
D
and it carried you away.
[Verse 1]
D Cmaj7 D
So the priceless blue diamond is cursed,
C D
and we both got hurt.
D Cmaj7 D
Maybe I stand in a minefield of words,
Cadd9 D
but I asked you first.
