(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay


    D       G          D
Sittin' in the morning sun
                 E7              A
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
      D                 G
Watching the ships roll in
   D              A                D
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

                   G           D
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
               E7          A
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
       D                           G
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
  A      D
Wastin' time

           G         D
I left my home in Georgia
            E7        A
Headed for the Frisco Bay
       D                   G
Cuz I've had nothing to live for
      D                A              D
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

                    G                   D
So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
                E7         A   
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
    D                        G
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
  A       D
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now

I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
