     C                     Em
I'm sittin' in the morning sun

 F                        D7
Sittin' when the evening comes

 C                      Em
Watchin' the ships roll in

        F                     D7
Then I watch 'em roll away again
[Chorus]
     C                          D
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

 C                        D
Watchin' the tides roll away

     C                          D
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

         C     Am
Wasting time
[Verse 2]
 C               Em
Left my home in Georgia

       F                    D7
I was headed for the Frisco Bay

C                  Em
I have nothing to live for

            D                      D7
Looks like nothing's gonna come my way
[Chorus]
     C                          D
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

 C                        D
Watchin' the tides roll away

     C                          D
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

         C    A
Wasting time
[Bridge]
C             G        F
  Looks like nothing's ever gonna change

C            G           F
  Everything - still remains the same

C         G                    F
  I can't do what them people tell me to do

A#                              G
  So I guess that I'll just remain the same
[Interlude] | C | Em | F | D7 | | C | Em | F | D7 | [Key change] [Verse 3]
 G                       B7
Sittin' here restin' my bones

          C                          A
And this loneliness won't leave me alone

 G                    B7
Two thousand miles I roamed

         C                 A
Just to make this dock my home
[Chorus]
     G                          A
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

 G                        A
Watchin' the tides roll away

          G                          A
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

         G                 Em
Wasting time... (waisting time)
