[Verse 1]
Dm Bb
I dreamed last night I was on the boat to heaven,
Dm Bb
By some chance I brought my dice along,
Am Bb Am
And there I stood And I holler somebody fade me,
F/A G/B C Eb
But the passengers they knew right from wrong.
[Chorus]
F Bb C7 Eb F
And the people said sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.
F Bb C7 Eb F
The people all said sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.
Dm Bb G C
Cause the devil will drag you under by the sharp lapels of your checkered coat.
F Bb C7 Eb F
Sit down, sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.
Dm Bb Dm
Dm Bb Dm
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb
As I sailed with those passengers to heaven,
Dm Bb
By some chance I found a bottle in my fist.
Am Bb Am Bb
And there I stood, nicely passing out the whiskey,
F/A G/B C Eb
But the passengers were bound to resist.
[Chorus]
F Bb C7 Eb F
And all the people said sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.
F Bb C7 Eb F
The people all said sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.
Dm Bb G C
Cause the devil will drag you under by the sharp lapels of your checkered coat.
F Bb C7 Eb F
Sit down, sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.

[Verse 3]
Dm Bb
As we sail on that tiny boat to heaven,
Dm Bb
A great big wave came and washed me overboard,
Am Bb Am Bb
And as I sank, oh I hollered someone save me,
F/A G/B C
That’s the moment I woke up, thank the Lord.
[Chorus]
F Bb C7 Eb
And I said to myself sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.
F Bb C7 Eb
I said to myself sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.
Dm Bb G C
Cause the devil will drag you under by the sharp lapels of your checkered coat.
F Bb C7 Eb F
Sit down, sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.
F Bb C7 Eb F
Sit down, sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.
F Bb C7 Eb F
