(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
