| VERSE 1-
G B
Sittin' in the morning sun
C C B Bb A
I'll be sittin' in the evening come
G B
Watching the ships roll in,
C C B Bb A
then I watch them roll away again, yeah
CHORUS-
G E
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
G E
watching the tide roll away
G A
ooh I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
G E
wasting ti---ime
VERSE 2- [play like verse 1]
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
and look like nothing's gonna come my way
CHORUS- [play like first chorus]
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away, oooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
wasting time
BRIDGE-
-
G D C2
Look like nothing's gonna change
G D C2
Everything still remains the same
G D C2 G
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
F D
So I guess I'll remain the same
VERSE 3- [play like verses 1 and 2]
Sittin' here resting my bones
and this loneliness won't leave me alone
These 2000 miles I roamed
just to make this dock my home
CHORUS- [play like previous choruses]
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away, oooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
wasting time
OUTRO-
[whistle over these two chords and fade out]
G E
