[Verse]
Em G
See this ancient riverbed
D C
See where all the follies led
Em D Em
Down by the water, (and) down by the old main drag
Em G
I was just some towhead teen
D C
Feelin' 'round for fingers to get in-between
Em D Em
Down by the water, down by the old main drag
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D Em
The season rubs me wrong
Em D C
The summer swells anon
[Chorus]
Em G
So knock me down, tear me up
D C
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Em D Em
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
[Break]

[Verse]
Em G
Sweet descend this rabble 'round
D C
the pretty little patter of a seaport town
Em D Em
Rolling in the water and rolling down the old main drag
Em G
All dolled up in gabardine
D C
The lash-flashing Leda of pier nineteen
Em D Em
Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D Em
The season rubs me wrong
Em D C
The summer swells anon
[Chorus]
Em G
So knock me down, tear me up
D C
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Em D Em
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

The season rubs me wrong
Em D C
The summer swells anon
[Chorus]
Em G
So knock me down, tear me up

But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Em D Em
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
[Outro/Coda]
Em D Em
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
C D Em
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
(There's a ritardando in the last line, you'll hear it)
