C Em C Em D

Verse:
Em                G
See this ancient riverbed
D                  C
See where all our follies are led
Em                  D                    Em
Down by the water, down by the old main drag

Em              G
I was just some toehead teen
D                                 C
Feeling 'round for fingers to get in between
Em                  D                    Em
Down by the water, down by the old main drag

Chorus:
Em         D       Em
The season rubs me wrong
Em          D      C
The summer swells anon
             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, down by the old main drag
