Decemberists — Down By The Water

Intro: C | Em | C | Em/D 

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 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

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

Em             D           Em 
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
