See this ancient riverbed

See where all our follies are led

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

Down by the water and down by the old main drag
Chorus:
[Em] [D] [Em]
The season rubs me wrong
[Em] [D] [C]
The summer swells anon

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

Down by the water and down by the old main drag

[Em] [G]
Sweet descend this rabble round
[D] [C]
Pretty little patter of a seaport town
[Em] [D] [Em]
Rolling down the water and rolling down the old main drag
[Em] [G]
All dolled up in gabardine
[D] [C]
The last flashing lee to appear nineteen
[Em] [D] [Em]
Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag

[Em] [D] [Em]
The season rubs me wrong
