Em               G       
See this ancient riverbed
D                 C              
See where all the follies are led
Em                    D                    Em   E7 Em
Down by the water and down by the old main drag ■  ■ 
                G           
I was just some towhead teen
D                             C             
Feeling 'round for fingers to get in between
Em                    D                    Em     
Down by the water and down by the old main ■  drag


[Chorus]
           D       Em   
The season rubs me wrong
           D      C   
The summer swells anon
            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

[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


[Chorus]
                 G        
All dolled up in gabardine
    D                    C            
The lashflashing Leda of Pier nineteen
Em                     D                     Em  
Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag
           D       Em   
The season rubs me wrong
           D      C   
The summer swells anon
            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

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

Down by the water and down by the old main drag
