[Verse 1]
[G] [B7]
Sittin' in the morning sun
[C] C Bb A
I'll be sittin' in the evening come
[G] [B7]
Watching the ships roll in,
[C] C Bb A
then I watch them roll away again...yea
[Chorus]
[G] [Em]
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
[G] [Em]
watching the tide roll away
[G] [A]
Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
[G] E
wasting time
[Verse 2]
[G] [B7]
I left my home in Georgia
[C] C Bb A
Headed for the Frisco bay
[G] [B7]
'Cause I had nothing to live for
[C] C Bb A
like nothings gonna come my way
[Chorus]
[G] [Em]
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
[G] [Em]
watching the tide roll away
[G] [A]
Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
[G] E
wasting time
[Bridge]
[G] [D] [C]
Looks like nothing's gonna change
[G] [D] [C]
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
[Verse 3]
[G] [B7]
Sittin' here resting my bones
[C] C Bb A
and this loneliness won't leave me alone
[G] [B7]
These 2000 miles I roamed
[C] C Bb A
just to make this dock my home
[Chorus]
[G] [Em]
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
[G] [Em]
watching the tide roll away
[G] [A]
Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
[G] E
wasting time
[Outro]
[G] [Em]
