Intro 2x: Em9  D

Em9             G
See this ancient riverbed
D              C
See where all our follies are led
Em9                  D                 Em9
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

Em9            G
I was just some towhead teen
D                       C
Feeling around for fingers to get in between
Em9                  D                 Em9
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

Em9       D        Em9
The season rubs me wrong
Em9       D      C
The summer swells anon
Em9              G
So knock me down, tear me up
D                                  C
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Em9                  D                 Em9
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

( Em9  D  Em9 ) (2x)

Em9           G
All on up this tab around
D                      C
Pretty little patter of a seaport town
Em9                       D                      Em9
Rolling down the water and rolling down the old main drag

Em9             G
All dolled up in gabardine
D                      C
The last flashing isle to appear nineteen
Em9                   D                  Em9
Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag

Em9       D        Em9
The season rubs me wrong
Em9       D      C
The summer swells anon
Em9              G
So knock me down, tear me up
D                                  C
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Em9                  D                 Em9
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

Down by the water and down by the old main drag
