Down by the Water  The Decemberists

Done entirely by listening to a live video. Definitely don't think it's perfect, but...
intro x2 Em9, D
[Em9]See this ancient[G] riverbed
[D]See where all o[C]ur follies are led
[Em9]Down by the water and[D] down by the old m[Em9]ain drag
[Em9]I was just some[G] towhead teen
[D]Feeling around for finge[C]rs to get in between
[Em9]Down by the water and[D] down by the old m[Em9]ain drag
[Em9]The season[D] rubs me [Em9]wrong
[Em9]The summer[D] swells[C] anon
[Em9]So knock me down,[G] tear me up
[D]But I would bear it all broken just[C] to fill my cup
[Em9]Down by the water and[D] down by the old m[Em9]ain drag
Em9, D, Em9 x2
[Em9]All on up this[G] tab around
[D]Pretty little patter of[C] a seaport town
[Em9]Rolling down the water and[D] rolling down the old m[Em9]ain drag
[Em9]All dolled up in[G] gabardine
[D]The last flashing isle [C]to appear nineteen
[Em9]Queen of the water and[D] queen of the old m[Em9]ain drag
[Em9]The season[D] rubs me [Em9]wrong
[Em9]The summer[D] swells[C] anon
[Em9]So knock me down,[G] tear me up
[D]But I would bear it all broken just[C] to fill my cup
[Em9]Down by the water and[D] down by the old m[Em9]ain drag
Em9, D, Em9 x4
[Em9]The season[D] rubs me [Em9]wrong
[Em9]The summer[D] swells[C] anon
[Em9]So knock me down,[G] tear me up
[D]But I would bear it all broken just[C] to fill my cup
[Em9]Down by the water and[D] down by the old m[Em9]ain drag
[Em9]Down by the water and[D] down by the old m[Em9]ain drag
[Em9]Down by the water and[D] down by the old m[Em9]ain drag
