Em               G         D                 C
See this ancient riverbed, See where all the follies led
Em                       D                    Em
Down by the water, (and) down by the old main drag

Em              G             D                                 C
I was just some towhead teen, Feelin' 'round for fingers to get in-between
Em                 D                    Em 
Down by the water, down by the old main drag

    Em     D       Em         Em     D        C   (pause)
The season rubs me wrong, The summer swells a-non
            Em            G               D                          C
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

(Sweet to send this reveler 'round), the pretty little patter of a seaport town
Em                       D                         Em 
Rolling in the water and rolling down the old main drag

Em               G              D                         C
All dolled up in gabardine, The last flashing (lead) to appear nineteen
Em                     D                     Em 
Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag

    Em     D       Em         Em     D        C  (pause)
The season rubs me wrong, The summer swells a-non
            Em            G               D                          C
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

Down by the water and down by the old main drag (slower, with single strums)
