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.

Dry The River - Vessel
Tuning: half-step down
G
Verse 1:
G
I knelt at the sink,
Em D/F#
Like a priest or a prince
D C
Maybe I'm to be king
G
And they're waiting at Westminster
G
And the walls are paper thin
Em D/F#
I hear the neighbours arguing
D C
Could you lower your voice?
G
I would sell my unborn daughter (maybe)
B7
G Em D/F# C

Em D/F# G
Verse 2:
G
We didn't stage a passion play
Em D/F#
Didn't change our given names
D C
Or waltz to our bed
G
Or need to make a scene
G
But I see your skin, paler now
Em D/F#
Than the host in your mouth
C D Em
Where the truth never seems to be
B7
G Em D/F#
G Em D/F#
C D Em
Now the burning branch never speaks to me
It whispers like

Chorus:
C G
I don't wanna be your vessel any more
D Em G
I don't wanna be your vessel any more
Am G
These are my words, this is my mouth
D Em G
I don't wanna be your vessel now
Am
And I may not see the future
But I see its lonely architect
Em D
At the door of my house
Am G
I don't wanna be your vessel any more
D Em G
I don't wanna be a vessel of your doubt
G Em D/F#
D C
G
Verse 3:
G
Truly I never dreamt
Em D/F#
Of all the dumb accoutrement
D C
I would want for myself
G
For the shelf
G
I laid it all at your feet
Em D/F#
On your neck and your cheek
C D Em
But the burning branch wouldn't speak to me
Chorus:
C G
I don't wanna be your vessel any more
D Em G
I don't wanna be your vessel any more
Am G
These are my rules, this is my house
D Em G
I don't wanna be your vessel now
Am
And I may not see the future
But I see its lonely architect
Em D
At the foot of my bed
Am G
I don't wanna be your vessel any more
D Em G
Didn't wanna be your vessel anyway
