I dreamed last night, I was on the boat to heaven.
DmBb
By some chance, I had brought my dice along.
AmBbAmBb
And there I stood and I holler someone fade
F/AG/BC(6 beats) Eb
But the passengers they knew right from wrong.
FBbC7 (Bb guitar)EbF
And the people said sit down, sit down you're rockin the boat.
FBbC7 (Bb guitar) EbF
The people all said sit down, sit down you're rockin the
boat.
DmBbGC
Cause the devil will drag you under by the sharp lapels of your
checkered coat
FBbC7 (Bb guitar) EbF
Sit down. Sit down. Sit down you're rockin the boat.
Dm (C)BbDm (C)Bb (sing the C, don't play
it)
Oooh Oooh Oooh (scat) Oooh Oooh Oooh
DmBb
As I sailed, with those passengers to heaven
DmBb
By some chance, I found a bottle in my fist.
AmBbAmBb
And there I stood, nicely passing out the whiskey
F/AG/BC(6 beats) Eb
But the passengers were bound to resist.

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

DmBb
As we sail, on that tiny boat to heaven
Dm (harmony)Bb
Great big wave, came and washed me over board
AmBbAmBb
And as I sank, oh I hollered someone save me
F/AG/BC(6 beats) Eb
That's the moment I woke up, thank the lord.
