Down By The Water

Written by Colin Meloy

	  		Intro: C   Em   C   Em  D     


Em               G   
See this ancient river bed,   
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 tow-head teen   
D                                          C   
Feelin' 'round for fingers to get in-between   
Em                              D                             Em    
Down by the water and down by the old main drag.   

Bridge:   
Em             D          Em   
The season rubs me wrong,   
Em              D            C   
The summer swells anon.   

tabchorus
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 Em G Sweet decsend 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. Em G All dolled up in gabardine D C The lash-flashing Leda of pier nineteen, Em D Em Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag. Bridge: Em D Em The season rubs me wrong, Em D C The summer swells anon.
