[Verse]
 
G                      B
Sittin' in the morning sun
        C              C B Bb  A
I'll be sittin' in the evening come
G                       B
Watching the ships roll in,
       C                C B Bb A
then I watch them roll away   again, yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    G                          E
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
             G          E
watching the tide roll away
             G                          A
ooh I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
        G    E
wasting ti---ime
 
 
[Verse]
 
G                 B
I left my home in Georgia
C              C B Bb  A
Headed for the Frisco bay
G                       B
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
    C                          C B Bb A
and look like nothing'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
ooh I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
        G    E
wasting ti---ime
 
 
[Bridge]
 
G      D      C2
  Look like nothing's gonna change
G      D         C2
       Everything still remains the same
G      D             C2         G
     I can't do what ten people tell me to do
F                    D
   So I guess I'll remain the same
 
 
[Verse]
 
G                        B
Sittin' here resting my bones
C                           C B Bb  A
and this loneliness won't leave me alone
G                       B
These 2000 miles I roamed
        C           C B Bb A
just to make this dock my home
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    G                          E
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
             G          E
watching the tide roll away
             G                          A
ooh I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
        G    E
wasting ti---ime
