Verse 1
We're (D major) in the same boat, (G major) brother.
We're in the (D major) same (B major) (D major) boat, (A major) (D major) brother.
And if you shake one end,
you're gonna rock (G major) the oth (C major) er.
(D major) It's the same boat, (G major) brother.
(D major) Well, Lordy looked (G major) down
(D major) from (G major) his holy place. (D major)
(G major) Said, Lordy (D major) me, what a sea of space.
Was (A major) about to launch the human race (D major)
So he built him a boat
for a mixed -up crew
With eyes of black and brown and (E major) blue
So that's how (A major) come that you and I got
just one world with just one (D major) sky
We're in the same boat, (G major) brother,
We're in the (B major) same (D major) boat, brother,
And if you shake one end,
you're gonna rock (C major) the other,
(D major) It's the same boat, brother
So (G major) the boat rolled on
through (D major) the (G major) storm and grief
(D major) Of (G major) many a (D major) rock and many a reef
What kept them (A major) go ing
was the great bit of (D major) lee
So they had to learn to navigate
That human race was special free (E major)
If they didn't want to (A major) be
in Jonah's shoes
They better be mates on
this here crew (D major)
We're in the same boat, (G major) brother,
we're in the same (B major) (D major) boat, brother
And if you (G major) shake one (D major) hand,
(G major) you're (D major) gonna rock (G major) the other
(A major) It's the (D major) same boat, (G major) brother
Oh, the boil up blue, (D major) (G major) somewhere in Spain
(D major) Oh, (G major) the keel will smash (D major)
and pour your grain
And the (A major) steam pulled out
from Oregon to (D major) Maine
Oh, it took some time
for the crew to learn
What is bad,
but the boat ain't good (E major) for the stern
Oh, it has to take (A major) fire and shine to be
For the harbor's deck's gonna blaze away
(D major) Cause we're the same boat,
(G major) brother
We're the (B major) same boat, (D major) brother
And if you (G major) shake one hand,
you're (A major) gonna rock (D major) (G major) the oth (D major) er
It's (A major) the (D major) same boat, (G major) brother
It's the (D major) same old (G major) brother,
it's the (B major) same old (D major) brother,
and if you (G major) shake one (D major) end
you're gonna rock (G major) the other,
it's the (D major) same old brother. (G major)
