INTRO
C | Em | C | Em / D / |
The Em is played in the same rhythm as the chords before it, but the D major chord is
played as two staccato quarter notes; you'll hear it in the song.
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
PRECHORUS
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
C | Em | C | Em / D / |
VERSE
Em G
Sweet to send this reveler '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 last flashing lead to appear nineteen
Em D Em
Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag
PRECHORUS
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
