ZAYTOUN - DRY THE RIVER
Standard tuning with no capo for the record version.
Submit any questions/queries/improvements - This is my first chord sheet
========================================================
I Cwitnessed the youth washing oAmff us,
and pEool round our feet like a lFake.
[hums]
If you lCower yourself into daAmrkness,
No point tEying the rope round your Fwaist.
[hums]
I hAmeard about your father,
the oFlive in the arbor, and the sCtone inside your heart just the sGame.
The stCatue wept milk in the gAmarden,
hoping sEomething might grow there aFgain.
[hums]
CI feel all these forces, 
Like riderless horses now.
free from the cGart.
CWe bandage our feet again,
skip over peace again,
hurry apGart.
NCow the bulrushes twist into bAmaskets,
Like our hEistories and futures eFntwined, oh-whoa.
The OCbadiah low on the Ambranches ,
are Eturning the water to wFine, oh-whoa.
It's Amhard enough to be here,
Such a dFistance from the sea,
3C0,000 years I've sGurvived. 
And aCll of those kings I've aAmnointed,
Still sEhook like a leaf at my Fsight.
[hums]
CI feel all these forces, 
Like riderless horses now.
free from the cGart.
CWe bandage our feet again,
skip over peace again,
hurry apGart.
FWe've tasted the fruit I guess, 
snakes in the roof I guess,
whisper the Cparse.
FSee how the lightning tree,
fought in a sign of peace,
burns in the Cdark.
It burns in the darFk.

========================================================

C Am

I witnessed the youth washing off us,

E F

and pool round our feet like a lake.

[hums]

C Am

If you lower yourself into darkness,

E F

No point tying the rope round your waist.

[hums]

I heard about your father,

F C G

the olive in the arbor, and the stone inside your heart just the same.

C Am

The statue wept milk in the garden,

E F

hoping something might grow there again.

[hums]

I feel all these forces,

Like riderless horses now.

free from the cart.

We bandage our feet again,

skip over peace again,

hurry apart.

C Am

Now the bulrushes twist into baskets,

E F

Like our histories and futures entwined, oh-whoa.

C Am

The Obadiah low on the branches ,

E F

are turning the water to wine, oh-whoa.

It's hard enough to be here,

Such a distance from the sea,

C G

30,000 years I've survived.

C Am

And all of those kings I've anointed,

E F

Still shook like a leaf at my sight.

[hums]

I feel all these forces,

Like riderless horses now.

free from the cart.

We bandage our feet again,

skip over peace again,

hurry apart.

We've tasted the fruit I guess,

snakes in the roof I guess,

whisper the parse.

See how the lightning tree,

fought in a sign of peace,

burns in the dark.

It burns in the dark.
