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.

The summer swells anon.

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