I dreamed last night, I was on the boat to heaven.

By some chance, I had brought my dice along.

And there I stood and I holler someone fade

F/A G/B C(6 beats) Eb

But the passengers they knew right from wrong.

F Bb C7 (Bb guitar)Eb F

And the people said sit down, sit down you're rockin the boat.

F Bb C7 (Bb guitar) Eb F

The people all said sit down, sit down you're rockin the

boat.

Cause the devil will drag you under by the sharp lapels of your

checkered coat

F Bb C7 (Bb guitar) Eb F

Sit down. Sit down. Sit down you're rockin the boat.

Dm (C) Bb Dm (C) Bb (sing the C, don't play

it)

Oooh Oooh Oooh (scat) Oooh Oooh Oooh

As I sailed, with those passengers to heaven

By some chance, I found a bottle in my fist.

And there I stood, nicely passing out the whiskey

F/A G/B C(6 beats) Eb

But the passengers were bound to resist.

And the people all said sit down, sit down you're rockin the boat.

The people all said sit down, sit down you're rockin the boat.

 

Cause the devil will drag you under by the sharp lapels of your

checkered coat.

Sit down. Sit down. Sit down you're rockin the boat.

Dm (C) Bb Dm (C) Bb (guitar solo on this part)

Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh

As we sail, on that tiny boat to heaven

Dm (harmony)Bb

Great big wave, came and washed me over board

And as I sank, oh I hollered someone save me

F/A G/B C(6 beats) Eb

That's the moment I woke up, thank the lord.

And I said to myself sit down, sit down you're rockin the boat.

(harmony)

I said to myself sit down, sit down you're rockin the boat.

 

Cause the devil will drag you under by the sharp lapels of your

checkered coat

Sit down. Sit down. Sit down you're rockin the boat.

Sit down (Sit down) Sit down (Sit down) sit down you're rockin the

boat

REPEAT, JAM, FADE
