Standard (EADGBE)

The inverted chords are to taste. They fit (obviously) within the song's

progression, and you can add them if you want to. I play the F# in the D

major chord (really it's just a triad with doubled notes) with my thumb.

I'm taking the lyrics from the unregistered chord sheet on this site for

ease of use, but I'm changing the chords since, well, they were wrong. (Note

on the intro, I made it like a lead sheet you'd see in a jazz band: The

upward line is a bar line, the slashes are the same chords based on

rhythm/spacing. 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)

Lines in parentheses are words I can't quite make out.

Intro

Verse

See this ancient riverbed

See where all the follies led

Down by the water, (and) down by the old main drag

I was just some towhead teen

Feelin' 'round for fingers to get in-between

Down by the water, down by the old main drag

Prechorus

The season rubs me wrong

The summer swells anon

Chorus

So knock me down, tear me up

But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

Break

Verse

Sweet decsend this rabble 'round

the pretty little patter of a seaport town

Rolling in the water and rolling down the old main drag

All dolled up in gabardine

The lash-flashing Leda of pier nineteen

Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag

Prechorus

The season rubs me wrong

The summer swells anon

Chorus

So knock me down, tear me up

But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

BREAK/SOLOS

Prechorus

The season rubs me wrong

The summer swells anon

Chorus

So knock me down, tear me up

But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

OUTRO/CODA

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

(There's a ritardando in the last line, you'll hear it)
