[G]
[C] [E]
[C] [D]
[E] See this [G] ancient riverbed, [D] see where all [C] my follies will lay
[E] Down by the water, [D] down by the old [E] main bed
[Em]
I was just [G] some toehead teen, [D] feelin' round for fingers [C] to get in between
[Em] Down by the water, [D] down by the old [E] main bed
[Bm]
[Em] The season [D]
wraps me [Em] round, the [E] summer [D]
swells [C] anon
So knock [E] me down, [G] tear me up, but I [D] would bear it all broken
[C] Till I'm filled my cup, [Em] down by the water, [D] down by the old [E] main bed
[Em]
[C] [E]
[C] [E]
[Em] Sweet sand [G] nests unravel round [D] the pretty little batter [C] of a seaport town
[E] Rolling in the water, [D] rolling down the old [E] main bed
[Em] I've
[E] [G] been gathering [D] the last flaccid leader [C] of Pier 19
[Em] Queen of the water, [D] queen of the old [E] main bed
[Em] The season [D]
wraps me [Em] round, the summer [D]
swells [C] anon
[Em] So knock [E] me down, [G] tear me up, but I [D] would bear it all broken
[C] Just to fill my cup, [Em] down by the water, [D] down by the old [Em] main bed
