               SHAKER HYMNS - Dry the River
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ella

Tuning: standard

This is based on the song on the acoustic version of Shallow Bed, but the one on the
original album is the same.

To get the same key as the original, use a capo on 3rd fret. The picking pattern is
simple if you listen for it
and stays constant throughout, switching to strumming for the ooohs at the end of the song.

E minorEm G+G x 2

E minorEm
With my family on the right-hand side
G+G
Your family on the left
E minorEm
We got married in a single bed and
G+G
Sang shaker hymns

E minorEm
When your hoarse grandfather had sung
G+G
The whole damn Song of Solomon
E minorEm
We toasted health in the front room
G+G            C majorC  G+G  C majorC G+G
We whiled away the afternooooon, ooooh

E minorEm G+G x 2

E minorEm
Ma fleur struck down sickness
G+G
The young medicine man's got his face in a book
E minorEm
There's more bottles than are trees in green England
G+G                 C majorC  G+G  C majorC G+G
Not one of them will do my love no goooood, oooh


    C majorC      B minorBm
In the morning I'm light
    A minorAm        G+G
But in evening I'm heavy now
C majorC    B minorBm      A minorAm          G+G
Try as I might, I just can't keep it steady now

A minorAm   G+G
Now, oh, my love

C majorC E minorEm x 4
Oooooh

D MajorD C majorC E minorEm
