James Song Sit Down

The James song Sit Down cover is an absolute indie classic banger. The 1991 release is the most well known version (The original meandered on for a massive seven plus minutes before it was chopped down into the radio friendly pop song it’s known as now). It has a huge chorus that everyone loves to singalong too and throw their arms around their friends. (Or in some cases just sit on the floor to). You probably didn’t even realise that the song only has the same three chords throughout. It has the same three chords for the verse, bridge, chorus and middle 8. Simply E – A – B. Sit Down can also be played quite nicely on a guitar with a capo on the 4th fret using the chords C – F – G.

Lyrics to Sit Down by James

Verse 1

I sing myself to sleep, a song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can’t keep, inside of the day
Swing from high to deep, extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that God exists, I hope I pray

Bridge 1

Drawn by the undertow, my life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight, so let it flow

Chorus

Oh sit down x3
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Verse 2

Now I’m relieved to hear, that you’ve been to some far out places
It’s hard to carry on, when you feel all alone

Bridge 2

Now I’ve swung back down again, it’s worse than it was before
If I hadn’t seen such riches, I could live with being poor

Chorus
Oh sit down x 3
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Middle 8
Those who feel the breath of sadness, sit down next to me.
Who find they’re touched by madness, sit down next to me.
Those who find themselves ridiculous, sit down next to me.
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears x 4….Down

Chorus
Oh sit down x 3
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy, down
