[E minorEm]       [G+G]
See this ancient riverbed
[D MajorD]        [C majorC]
See where all our follies are led
[E minorEm]         [D MajorD]         [E minorEm]
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

[E minorEm]      [G+G]
I was just some towhead teen
[D MajorD]              [C majorC]

The season rubs me wrong

The summer swells anon

So knock me down, tear me up
      [D MajorD]            [C majorC]
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
[E minorEm]         [D MajorD]         [E minorEm]
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

[E minorEm]        [G+G]
Sweet descend this rabble round
[D MajorD]            [C majorC]
Pretty little patter of a seaport town
[E minorEm]            [D MajorD]            [E minorEm]
Rolling down the water and rolling down the old main drag

[E minorEm]       [G+G]
All dolled up in gabardine
  [D MajorD]          [C majorC]
The last flashing lee to appear nineteen
[E minorEm]          [D MajorD]          [E minorEm]
Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag
