|:G - - G D - D - :|   [4x]

G                       B  
Sittin' in the mornin'  sun, 
         C                B  Bb  A  
I'll be  sittin' when the e-ven-in'  comes. 
G                       B  
Watching the ships roll in, 
        C                B  Bb A  
then I  watch 'em roll a way a-gain, yeah. 

Chorus: --------------------------------
    G                          E  
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, 
              G          E  
watching the  tide roll away. 
              G                           A  
Oo, I'm just  sittin' on the dock of the  bay, 
         G      E  
wastin'  time.   
-----------------------------------------
Verse 2:    
G                       B  
I left my home in Georgia, 
C               B  Bb  A  
headed for the 'Frisco Bay. 
G                 B  
I have nothing to live for, 
             C              B  Bb A  
it look like nothin's gonna come my way. 

Chorus: --------------------------------
    G                          E  
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, 
              G          E  
watching the  tide roll away. 
              G                           A  
Oo, I'm just  sittin' on the dock of the  bay, 
         G      E  
wastin'  time.   

Bridge: ====================================
G     D       C 
Look  like nothing's gonna change. 
G          D     C 
Ev'rything 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                       B  
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones, 
         C                B  Bb  A  
and this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes. 
G                       B  
Two thousand miles I roamed 
        C                B  Bb A  
just to make this-a dock my home. 

Chorus: --------------------------------
    G                          E  
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, 
              G          E  
watching the  tide roll away. 
              G                           A  
Oo, I'm just  sittin' on the dock of the  bay, 
         G      E  
wastin'  time.
