Intro 2x: E5  D5

E5             G5
See this ancient riverbed
D5              C5
See where all our follies are led
E5                  D5                 E5
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

E5            G5
I was just some towhead teen
D5                       C5
Feeling around for fingers to get in between
E5                  D5                 E5
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

E5       D5        E5
The season rubs me wrong
E5       D5      C5
The summer swells anon
E5              G5
So knock me down, tear me up
D5                                  C5
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
E5                  D5                 E5
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

( E5  D5  E5 ) (2x)

E5           G5
All on up this tab around
D5                      C5
Pretty little patter of a seaport town
E5                       D5                      E5
Rolling down the water and rolling down the old main drag

E5             G5
All dolled up in gabardine
D5                      C5
The last flashing isle to appear nineteen
E5                   D5                  E5
Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag

E5       D5        E5
The season rubs me wrong
E5       D5      C5
The summer swells anon
E5              G5
So knock me down, tear me up
D5                                  C5
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
E5                  D5                 E5
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

Down by the water and down by the old main drag
