G                      B7 *
Sittin' in the mornin' sun

        C                        A
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come

G                       B7
Watching the ships roll in

          C                    A
Then I'll watch 'em 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
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

        G  E
Wastin' time
[Verse 2]
  G               B7
I left my home in Georgia

C                      A
Headed for the 'Frisco Bay

G                 B7
I have nothing to live for

          C                      A
Look like nothin's gonna come my way
[Chorus]
                  G                      E
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay

             G          E
Watching the tide roll away

         G                          A
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

        G  E
Wastin' time
[Bridge]
G     D     C               G
 Look like, nothing's gonna change

G    D             C         G
Everything still remains the same

G       D       C          G
I can't do what ten people tell me to do

F                  D
 So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
[Verse 3]
G                       B7
Sittin' here resting my bones

         C                          A
And this loneliness won't leave me alone

     G                    B7
It's two thousand miles I roam

        C                 A
Just to make this dock my home
[Chorus]
                   G                      E
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay

             G          E
Watching the tide roll away

         G                          A
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

        G  E
Wastin' time
