Sit Down You're Rockin' The Boat Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Now[G] lo[C]ok [G]her[Abdim]e[Am][C][F]
don't be singin' that pretty music for [C]me
I've learned my lesson and I
ain't ready to go yet
Let me tell you all about it

[Verse 2]
I dreamed [C]last night I got on the boat
to Heaven
And by some chance
I had brought my dice along
[Em]And there I [C]stood, and I h[Em]ollered,
"Someone [F]fade me"
But the passen[C]gers they
[Am]knew right [G]from wrong[C][G]

[Verse 3]
For the [C]people all said
"Sit [F]down,
[Fm]sit down[G] you're rockin' the boat[Ab]"
[G]And the peo[C]ple all said
"Sit [F]down, [Fm]sit d[G]own you're
rockin' the [C]boat"
"And the [F]devil will drag you

[Verse 4]
under
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat
Sit [C]down, sit [F]down
Sit [G]down you're rocking
the boat"
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 5]
Now [C]I sailed away on that
little boat to Heaven
And by some chance found
a bottle in my fist
[Em]An d there I s[C]tood nicely
[Em]passin' out the whiskey
[F]But the passenger[C]s were
bound [Em]to r[G]esis[C]t[G][C]
[G]

[Verse 6]
For the [C]people all said
[F]"Beware, [Ab]you are o[G]n a
[C]heavenly [Ab]trip"[G]
[C]People all said
[F]"Beware, [Fm]bewar[G]e you'll
[C]scuttle the ship"

[Verse 7]
"And the [F]devil will drag you under
By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat
Sit [C]down, sit [F]down
[G]Sit down you're rockin' the boa[C]t"

[Verse 8]
[G]
Now as [C]I laughed at those
passengers to Heaven
A great big wave came and
washed me overboard
And [Em]as I [F]sank, [Em]and I hollered,
"Someone save [F]me"
[C]That's the moment I woke up,
thank the [G]Lord

[Verse 9]
[G]And I [C]said to myself
"Sit down,
[G]sit down you're [C]rockin' the boat"
I said to myself
"Sit down, sit down you're
rockin' the boat"

[Verse 10]
"And the [F]devil will drag you under
With a soul so heavy you'd never float
Sit [C]down, sit [F]down
[G]Sit [C]down you're rockin' the [F]boat"
Sit [C]down you're [G]rockin' the [C]boat
[F]Sit [C]down

[Verse 11]
you're rockin'
[G]the[C] boat[F][C]
And I ain't gonna rock it no more
