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.

EC#m I had a vision in the chapel EG#m Flame flickered on your forehead like an apple F#G#mB When the morning came I was enthralled by your movement C#mF# But I was scared, I wrote a letter C#mG#m To articulate my thoughts a little better F#B When the time came for speaking my mind it was gone
E The garden's overgrown B Is the fact of the matter E And now it's just a field behind the house B Where the creepers kinda swallow the light C#mE Where you wait for a talking snake B For a calendar day - something you can rely on G#m You can steady the scale BF# With my heart in a pail if I'm wrong
EC#m When I was young and not a cynic EG#m I felt a gravity beyond the city limit F#G#mB In the violent heart I couldn't start to explain it C#mF# But all my lovers turned to friends C#mG#m and I'm in London singing "if it be your will" again F#B When the time came for speaking my mind it was gone
E The garden's overgrown B Is the fact of the matter E And now it's just a field behind the house B Where the creepers kinda swallow the light C#mE Where you wait for a talking snake B For a calendar day - something you can rely on G#m You can steady the scale BF# With my heart in a pail if I'm wrong
C#mG#m I miss my childhood house E Where my heart slowed down BG#m I could take control of myself there EC#mG#m Since our childhood homes EC#m Are apartments though G#mBG#mF# I've been finding I don't feel it the same way now
E The garden's overgrown B Is the fact of the matter E And now it's just a field behind the house B Where the creepers kinda swallow the light C#mE Where you wait for a talking snake B For a calendar day - something you can rely on G#m You can steady the scale BF# With my heart in a pail if I'm wrong G#m You can steady the scale BF# With my heart in a pail if I'm wrong G#m Steady the scale BF# With my heart in a pail if I'm wrong
-------------------------------- This is the key the album version is in. It can be easier to transpose 5 steps down and play capo 5. When playing it live, they play half a step higher.
