Something very funny has been happening to me.
Sitting here, I mean.
Like I've been remembering a dream.
Tell us nicely.
Tell us in your own words.
Yeah, that's it.
A dream.
[Cm] I dreamed [F] last night I [Db] got on the boat to heaven
[Cm] And by some chance I had brought my dice [Eb] along
[Gm] And there I [Ab] stood and [Gm] I hollered, someone [E] fade me
[C] But the passengers [G] they knew right [Bbm] from [Eb] wrong
[Bb] For [Eb] the people all said [Ab] sit down, [Bb] sit down you [G] rockin' boat
[Abm] People all said sit down, sit [Ab] down you rockin' boat
And the devil will drag you under
By [Eb] the sharp lapel of your checkered coat
Sit down, sit [Ab] down, sit down, sit down, [Eb] sit down you rockin' boat
[Ab] [Eb] I [Bb] [B]
[Cm] sailed away on [Db] that little boat to [Cm] heaven
And by some chance found a bottle in my fist
[G] And there [Ab] I stood [Gm] nicely passing out the whiskey
[Cm] But the passengers [G] were bound to [Db]
[Eb] resist
[Bb] [Ab] For the people all said beware, you're on a heavenly trip
People all said beware, beware you'll scuttle a ship
And the devil will drag you under
By the fancy tie around your [Eb] wicked throat
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down you [G] rockin' boat
And [Cm] as I laughed [Db] at those passengers to heaven
Ha ha ha ha
A [Eb] great big wave came and washed me overboard
And as I [G] sank and I [Gb] hollered, someone save [Cm] me
That's the moment I woke up
Thank [Db] the [Eb] Lord
[Bb] And [Eb] I said to myself, sit down, sit down you rockin' boat
Said to myself, sit down, sit down you rockin' boat
[D] And the devil will drag you under
With a soul so heavy you'd never float
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit [Bb] down sit down you rockin' boat
Sit down, [Eb] you're rockin'
Sit down, sit down, sit down, you're rockin' the boat
Sit down [Ab] you're [Cm] rockin'
