[Gm] [G]
Sitting in the [B] morning sun, [C] I'll be sitting when the [A] evening comes, [G]
watching the ships
[B] roll in, and [C] then I'll watch them roll away [A] again, yeah.
[G] I'm sitting on the dock [E] of a bay, watching [G] the tide roll [E] away, ooh.
[G]
Sitting on the dock of [A] a bay, wasting [G]
time.
[E] [G] I left my [Bb] home [B] in Georgia, [C]
headed for the Frisco [A] Bay.
[G]
I've had nothing [B] before, [C] look like nothing's gonna [Bb] come [A] my way, so I'm [G] just gonna sit on
the dock [E] of a bay, watching [G] the tide roll [Bm] away, [E] ooh.
[G] I'm sitting on the dock [A] of a bay, wasting [G]
time.
[E] [G]
Look [D] like [C] nothing's gonna [G] change, [D] everything [C] still remains the [G] same.
I [D] can't do [C] what people tell [G] me to [F] do, so I guess [D] I'll remain the same.
[G]
Sitting here resting [B] my bones, and [C] this loneliness won't [A] leave me alone.
It's [G]
two thousand [B] miles I roam, [C] just to make this dock [A] my home.
Now I'm [G] just gonna sit at the dock of [E] a bay, watching [G] the tide roll [E] away, ooh.
[G]
Sitting on the dock of [A] a bay, [G] wasting time.
