Abm            Abm7   F9    Bbm7           Eb7
I dreamed last night, I got on the boat to heaven
Abm7        Db7           A6              Amaj7
And by some chance, I had brought my dice along
Ebm7        Abm          Bbm7               A7
And there I stood, and I hollered "Somebody fade me!"
Abm7                   Db7             Gb7sus4 G7
But the passengers all knew right from wrong

[Chorus]
B                  B7   E         E7
For the people all said sit down
B                Abm Dbm  Gb7 B
Sit down, you're roc kin' the boat
B                   E
The people all said sit down
E               B
Sit down you're rockin' the boat

[Bridge]
Fm7                         E
And the devil will drag you under
E      Dbm   Eb            E7        B
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat
E7              B             E
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
Gb              G           B       Eb7
Sit down you're rockin' the boat

[Verse]
Abm7     F9            Bbm7              Eb7
I sailed away, on that little boat to heaven
Abm7              Db7       Gbm7         B7
And by some chance, found a bottle in my fist
Bm  Ebm7    Emaj7         Em7 Dbm7         A7
And there I stood, nicely pas sin' out the whisky
Abm7                    G7       Gb7
But the passengers were bound to resist

[Chorus]
B                          E         A
For the people all said "Beware
B                     Db
You’re on a heavenly trip."
B                    Abm E
The people all said "Be  ware
B               Gb         B
Beware, you'll scuttle the ship!"

[Bridge]
B       Abm7                E
And the devil will drag you under
E      Dbm   B                E
By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat
B                             G
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
Gb               B                  Eb7
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat

[Verse]
Ab7 Abm7 Fm               Gbm7          Eb7
And as I laughed at those passengers to heaven
Abm7        Db7           Gbm         Gb
A great big wave came and knocked me overboard!
Bb7 Ebm7 Emaj7 E     Bbm7               A7
And as I sank, and I hollered "Someone save me!"
Abm7                     G7
That's the moment I woke up
Gb7       G
Thank the Lord!

[Verse]
B                     E   A
And I said to myself, sit down
B                            Dbm   Gb
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat
B                    E
I said to myself sit down
B                         Gb7          B
Sit down, sit down you're rockin' this boat

[Bridge]
Fm                           E
And the devil will drag you under
E      Dbm    Eb7          E    A
With a soul so heavy you'd never float
B7                             E
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
G                    Gb    B
Sit down, stop rockin' the boat

[Outro]
