Song: "Down By The Water" Artist: The Decemberists Album: The King Is Dead (Down By The Water Release) - 2010/2011 Em |0-2-2-0-0-0| G |3-2-0-0-0-3| D |x-x-0-2-3-2| or D/F# |2-x-0-2-3-2| C |x-3-2-0-1-0| or C/G |3-3-2-0-1-0| (Note on the intro, I made it like a lead sheet you'd see in a jazz band: The upward line is a bar line, the slashes are the same chords based on rhythm/spacing. The Em is played in the same rhythm as the chords before it, but the D major chord is played as two staccato quarter notes; you'll hear it in the song) Harmonica in a key of G plays during the [Intro] and during [Break]: Harmonica tabs: 7 6 -6 -6 6 5 6 5 -4 [Intro] | C | Em | C | Em / | D / | [Verse]
EmSee this ancient Griverbed DSee where all the Cfollies led EmDown by the water, (and) dDown by the old mainEm drag
EmI was just someG towhead teen DFeelin' 'round for fingeCrs to get in-between EmDown by the water, doDwn by the old mainEm drag
[Pre-Chorus]
EmThe season Drubs me Emwrong EmThe summerD swellsC anon
[Chorus]
So knock me dEmown, tear me Gup But I would Dbear it all broken just to Cfill my cup EmDown by the water and Ddown by the old main Emdrag

EmSweet descend this Grabble 'round the Dpretty little patter ofC a seaport town EmRolling in the water and rDolling down the old maiEmn drag
EmAll dolled up inG gabardine DThe lash-flashing Leda of Cpier nineteen EmQueen of the water andD queen of the old mEmain drag
[Pre-Chorus]
EmThe seasonD rubs me Emwrong EmThe summerD swellsC anon
[Chorus]
So knock me dEmown, tear me Gup But I would Dbear it all broken just to Cfill my cup EmDown by the water and Ddown by the old main Emdrag
