[G] Sittin' in the mornin' [B] sun
I'll be [C] sittin' when the evenin' [A] come
[G] Watching the ships roll [B] in
And then I [C] watch 'em roll away [A] again


I'm [G] sittin' on the dock of the [Em] bay		
Watching the [G] tide roll [Em] away
Ooo, I'm just [G] sittin' on the dock of the [A] bay
Wastin' [G] ti---- [Em] ime


I [G] left my home in [B] Georgia
[C] Headed for the 'Frisco [A] bay			
'Cause [G] I've had nothing to [B] live for
And look like [C] nothin's gonna come my [A] way


I'm [G] sittin' on the dock of the [Em] bay		
Watching the [G] tide roll [Em] away
Ooo, I'm just [G] sittin' on the dock of the [A] bay
Wastin' [G] ti---- [Em] ime


[G] Looks [D] like [C] nothing's gonna change
[G] Every- [D] -thing [C] still remains the same
[G] I [D] can't do what [C] ten people tell me to do
[F] So I guess I'll [D] remain the same, yes


[G] Sittin' here resting my [B] bones
And this [C] loneliness won't leave me [A] alone
It's [G] two thousand miles I [B] roamed
[C] Just to make this dock my [A] home


I'm [G] sittin' on the dock of the [Em] bay		
Watching the [G] tide roll [Em] away
Ooo, I'm just [G] sittin' on the dock of the [A] bay
Wastin' [G] ti---- [Em] ime
