Song :
G
m Bbm6
I dreamed last night I got on the boat to heaven
Cm Bbm6
And by some chance I had brought my dice along
Gm Ab6
And there I stood
Gm Ab6
And I hollered "Someone fade me"
Gm Cm Fm7 Bb7
But the passengers, they knew right from wrong
Chorus :
Eb Eb7 Ab6 Abm6
For the people all said sit down
Eb F7 Bb7
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat
Eb Eb7 Ab6 Abm6
The people all said sit down
Eb Bb7 Eb Eb7
Sit down you're rockin' the boat
Ab6
And the devil will drag you under
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat
Eb Eb7 Ab6 Abm6
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
Eb Bb7 Eb
Sit down you're rockin' the boat
G7
Cm Bbm6
I sailed away on that little boat to heaven
Cm Bbm6
And by some chance found a bottle in my fist
Gm Ab6 Gm Ab6
And there I stood nicely passin' out the whisky
Gm Cm Fm7 Bb7
But the passengers were bound to resist
Chorus :
Eb Eb7 Ab6 Abm6
For the people all said beware
Eb F7 Bb7
You're on a heavenly trip
Eb Eb7 Ab6 Abm6
The people all said beware
Eb Bb7 Eb Eb7
Beware, you'll scuttle the ship
Ab6
And the devil will drag you under
By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat
Eb Eb7 Ab6 Abm6
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
Eb Bb7 Eb
Sit down you're rockin' the boat
Cm Bbm6
And as I laughed at those passengers to heaven
Cm Bbm6
A great big wave came And washed me over board
Gm Ab6 Gm Ab6
And as I sank and I hollered "someone save me"
Gm Cm Fm7 Bb7
That's the moment I woke up, thank the lord
Chorus :
Eb Eb7 Ab6 Abm6
And I said to my self sit down
Eb F7 Bb7
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat
Eb Eb7 Ab6 Abm6
I said to my self sit down
Eb Bb7 Eb Eb7
Sit down you're rockin' the boat
Ab6
And the devil will drag you under
With a soul so heavy you'd never float
Eb Eb7 Ab6 Abm6
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
Eb Bb7 Eb
Sit down you're rockin' the boat
