 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The A position lends itself to this piano song more than the C position, so I've put a capo on the third fret.

The guitar riffs in the chorus are digitally lowered an octave (or played on an electric bass, if you prefer).





VERSE 1:

       A N.C.               C N.C.

If you think that a kiss is all in the lips

     G N.C.             A N.C.

Come on, you got it all wrong, man

           A N.C.                   C N.C.

And if you think that our dance was all in the hips

    G N.C.            A

Oh, well, then do the twist

       A N.C.                   C N.C.

If you take holdin' hands, it's all in the fingers

     G N.C.                     A              /g

Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers

    A N.C.              C N.C.

And  make sure to never do it with them singers

               G N.C.               A

'Cause they'll tell everyone in the world

/g          C         G        A

What he was thinkin' about the girl

               C         G        A    /g

Yeah what he's thinkin' about the girl





VERSE 2:

Oh, a lot of people get confused they bruise

Real easy when it comes to love

They start puttin' on their shoes and walkin' out

And singin', "Boy, I think I had enough"

But just because she makes a big rumpus

She don't mean to be mean, or hurt you on purpose, boy

Take a tip and do yourself a little service

Take a mountain, turn it into a mole

Just by playin' a different role

Yeah, by playin' a different role



CHORUS:

A A /g

      Oh,

E

  The boat, yeah, you know she's rockin' it

G

  And the truth, well, you know there's no stoppin' it

VERSE 3:

So what, somebody left you in a rut

And wants to be the one who's in control

But the feelin' that you're under can really make you wonder

How the hell she could be so cold

So now you're left denying the truth

And it's hidden in the wisdom in the back of your tooth

You need to spit it out in a telephone booth

While you call everyone that you know

And ask them, "Where do you think she goes?"

Oh yeah, "Where do you suppose she goes?"



CHORUS:

A A /g

      Oh,

E

  The truth, well, you know there's no stoppin' it

G

  And the boat, well, you know she's still rockin' it

VERSE 4:

You recognize the effect and the wreck

That it's causin' when she rocks the boat  

But it's the cause hittin' on the cardinal laws

'Bout the proper place to hang her coat

So to you, the truth is still hidden

And the soul plays the role of the lost little kitten

But you should know that the doctors weren't kiddin'

She was singin' it all along

But you were hearin' a different a song

Yeah, you were hearin' a different song



             C         G         A

But you were hearin' a different song
