Standard (EADGBE)
The inverted chords are to taste. They fit (obviously) within the song's
progression, and you can add them if you want to. I play the F# in the D
major chord (really it's just a triad with doubled notes) with my thumb.
I'm taking the lyrics from the unregistered chord sheet on this site for
ease of use, but I'm changing the chords since, well, they were wrong. (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)
Lines in parentheses are words I can't quite make out.

Intro
Verse
See this ancient riverbed
See where all the follies led
Down by the water, (and) down by the old main drag
I was just some towhead teen
Feelin' 'round for fingers to get in-between
Down by the water, down by the old main drag
Prechorus
The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
Chorus
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
Break
Verse
Sweet decsend this rabble 'round
the pretty little patter of a seaport town
Rolling in the water and rolling down the old main drag
All dolled up in gabardine
The lash-flashing Leda of pier nineteen
Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag
Prechorus
The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
Chorus
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
BREAK/SOLOS
Prechorus
The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
Chorus
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
OUTRO/CODA
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
(There's a ritardando in the last line, you'll hear it)
