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

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
