Capo: 3

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. Em G x 2
