Am Am7 C7 E7

Verse:
  Am                       C7
I dreamed last night I was on the boat to Heaven
    Am                   C7
And by some chance I had brought my dice along
    Em      F7          Em                  F7
And there I stood and I hollered, "Someone fade me"
        Am              E               Gm   C   G
But the passengers they knew right from wrong.

Chorus:
G7      C          C7         F          Fm
For the people all said, "Sit Down, (sit down,)
    C            D7          G7
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat."
C          C7     F          Fm
People all said, "Sit Down, (sit down,)
    C            G7          C
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat.
        F7
And the devil will drag you under

By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat.
    C         C7        F         Fm
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,
    C            G7          C
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat.

E7

Verse 2:
  Am                   C7
I sailed away on that little boat to Heaven
    Am                     C7
And by some chance found a bottle in my fist
    Em      F7           Em              F7
And there I stood nicely passin' out the whiskey
        Am              E           Gm   C   G
But the passengers were bound to resist

Chorus:
G7      C          C7       F        Fm
For the people all said, "Beware, (beware,)
       C    D7       G7
You're on a heavenly trip"
C          C7     F          Fm
People all said, "Beware, (beware,)
  C            G7          C
Beware, you'll scuttle the ship.
        F7
And the devil will drag you under

By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat.
    C         C7        F         Fm
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,
    C            G7          C
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat.

E7

Verse 3:
    Am                    C7
And as I laughed at those passengers to Heaven
  Am                      C7
A great big wave came and washed me overboard
    Em   F7          Em                 F7
And as I sank, and I hollered, "Someone save me!"
        Am                E            Gm   C   G
That's the moment I woke up, thank the Lord

Chorus:
G7    C         C7         F          Fm
And I said to myself, "Sit Down, (sit down,)
    C            D7          G7
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat."
C         C7         F          Fm
Said to myself, "Sit Down, (sit down,)
    C            G7          C
sit down, you're rockin' the boat.
        F7
And the devil will drag you under

With a soul so have you'd never float.
    C         C7        F         Fm
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,
    C            G7          C
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat.
