[G]Sittin' in the morning [B]sun
I'll be [C]sittin' in the [C]ev[B]en[Bb]ing [A]come
[G]Watching the ships roll [B]in,
then I [C]watch them roll a[C]wa[B]y [Bb] a[A]gain, yeah
[CHORUS]
I'm [G]sittin' on the dock of the [E]bay
watching the [G]tide roll a[E]way
ooh I'm just [G]sittin' on the dock of the [A]bay
wasting [G]ti---[E]ime
VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
and look like nothing's gonna come my way
CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away, oooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
wasting time
[BRIDGE]
-
[G] Look [D]like no[C2]thing's gonna change
[G] [D]Everything[C2] still remains the same
[G] I [D]can't do what [C2]ten people [G]tell me to do
[F] So I guess I'll re[D]main the same
VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2]
Sittin' here resting my bones
and this loneliness won't leave me alone
These 2000 miles I roamed
just to make this dock my home
CHORUS: [play like previous choruses]
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away, oooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
wasting time
