[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 [C] Then I'll watch them roll away [A] again
[G] Sitting on the dock [B] of the bay Watching [G] a tide roll [Bm] away
[E] Ooh, [G] just sitting on the dock of [A] the bay [G] Wasting time
[E] [G] I left my home [B] in Georgia [C] Headed for the Frisco [A] Bay
[G] I've had nothing [B] before And [C] it looks like nothing's gonna come [A] my way
So I'm [G] just gonna sit on the dock [B] of the bay Watching [G] the tide roll [B] away
[G] I'm sitting on the dock [A] of the bay [G] Wasting time
[E] [G]
Looks [C] like nothing's gonna change [G]
[D] Everything [C] still remains the [G] same
I can't do [C] what ten people tell me to [Gm] do [F] So I guess [D] I'll remain the same
[G] Sitting here resting [B] my bones In [C] this loneliness won't leave [A] me alone
This [G] two thousand miles [B] I roam [C] Just to make this dock [A] my home
Now I'm [G] just gonna sit at the dock of [B] the bay Watching [G] the tide roll [B] away
Ooh, [G] just sitting on the dock of [A] the bay [G] Wasting time
[E] [G]

[A] This is my love of prayer I'm here to reach out to you my love
[E]
This is my love of prayer And I hope you can understand my love
My life is such a weary thing But in my heels, [D] oh, this prayer is bringing
a ring [E] You keep me wanting, waiting, and wishing
When I know [A] deep down I'm not to blame What [D]
[A] you're gonna do tonight
When you need some loving arms to hold you tight [E] Tell me what you're gonna do tonight
When you need my handy [A] voice to tell the night [F#m]
Honey, [A] but you can't let that be no problem
You got to come on [D] home and help me solve them
Oh, dear, [E] I won't be missing you And honey, my love of prayer will be all over
[B] [D] What
[E]
[A] can the matter be?
It can't get too [D] serious, we can't talk it over
[E] Living in this misery, darling, you [A] can't make my life all over
Honey, but you don't let that be no problem Just come on home [D] and help me solve them
[E] Dear, I won't be missing you I won't keep missing you
And my [A] love of prayer will be all over It's got to be all over, [D] honey, all over
You don't [A] keep my mind going round So [D] many times
This is [A] my love of prayer, so [E] come on, come on home
This is my love of [D] prayer, I'm singing it out to you
