   Im Sittin In The Dock Of The Bay   Wastin’ Time~
[Verse 2] I left my home in Georgia Headed for the 'Frisco bay I've had nothing to live for Look like nothin's gonna come my way [Chorus] So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time~ [Bridge]
        G                   A7                     G                     A7

            Looks like  nothing's gonna change        Everything still remains the same.  

        G                   A7                       B7

           I can't do what ten people tell me to do    So I guess I'll remain the same.
[Verse 3] Sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home [Chorus] Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time
