G                      B
Sittin' in the mornin' sun,
        C                   B Bb A
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes.
G                       B
Watching the ships roll in,
       C               B Bb A
then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah.

[CHORUS]+Riff1
    G                          Eadd9
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay,
             G          Eadd9
watching the tide roll away.
             G                          A
Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
        G     E
wastin' time.


[VERSE 2:]+Riff2
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.


[BRIDGE:]+Riff3

G    D       C
Look like nothing's gonna change.
G    D           C
Ev'rything still remains the same.
G D             C                
I can't do what ten people tell me to do,
F                 D
so I guess I'll remain the same, yes.


G                      B
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones,
C                   B Bb A
and this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes.
C                   B Bb A
Two thousand miles I roamed
G                      B
just to make this-a dock my home..


[CHORUS]
    G                          Eadd9
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay,
             G          Eadd9
watching the tide roll away.
             G                          A
Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
        G     E
wastin' time.
