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 song is beautiful and always gets stuck in my head, so I thought I'd finally sit down and learn it. a lot
of their songs are tuned half a step down so I thought I'd play it that way, but it obviously doesn't have to
be. have fun!
[Intro]
C
[Verse]
C Fmaj7
You were brave as a chessboard queen
Am
But the shoe didn’t fit your feet
Fmaj7 C C7
Cover the mouth of the Earth’s great cough
Am Fmaj7 C
You can’t always get what you want
[Verse]
Fmaj7
So you lie in the driveway snow
Am
'Til you’re white as a bed sheet ghost
Fmaj7 C C7
Bathed in the light of a star long dead
Am Fmaj7 C
No one can tell how it ends
[Chorus]
Am
If you’re blind to love
F
Why don't you say it, love?
C
It doesn’t amount to much
Em
You're a grail without the blood
Am
If you’re blind to me
F
Why do you say you see?
C
Shouldn’t it always be
G
Clear to us?
C
[Verse]
Fmaj7
Did you carve out a place in the world?
Am
Were your white little bones of a bird
Fmaj7 C C7
Crushed like a husk in the Great Deceiver's mouth?
Am Fmaj7 C
I hope it’s all working out
[Chorus]
Am
Cause if you’re blind to love
F
You shouldn’t try to love
C
It doesn’t amount to much
Em
You're a holy with no ghost
Am
And if you’re blind to me
F
Why do you try to see?
C
Shouldn’t it always be
G
Obvious?
[Outro]
F A
Proud like a hunter with a bow
Am C
Cowed like a prisoner below
F
I don’t sleep so well
Bb Am G F
I woke up here on the crowded seats of a bus
Am G Am
I was a husk
