Otis Redding - (SITTIN' ON) THE DOCK OF THE BAY + Lyrics chords
Start Jamming...
Sitting in the [B] morning sun I'll [C] be sitting when the [A] evening comes
[G] Watching the ships [B] roll in [C] Then I'll watch them roll [A] away again
[G] Sitting on the dock [B] of the bay Watching [G] the tide roll [B] away
[E]
[G] Sitting on the dock [A] of the bay [G] Wasting time
[E] I [G] left my home [B] in Georgia
[C] Headed for the Frisco [A] Bay
[G] I've had nothing [B] to live for And [C] it looks like nothing's gonna come [A] my way
So [G] I'm just gonna sit on the dock [B] of the bay Watching [G] the tide [B] roll away
[G] Sitting on the dock [A] of the bay [G] Wasting time
[E]
[G] Looks like [C] nothing's gonna change [G] Everything [C] still remains the [G] same
I can't [C] do what ten people tell me to [Gm] do [F] So I guess [D] I'll remain the same
[G] Just sitting here resting [B] my bones [C] And 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 [B] of the bay Watching [G] the tide roll [B] away
[G] Sitting on the dock of [A] the bay [G] Wasting time
