[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.

[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.
