[G]
Sitting in the morning [B]
sun [C] I'll be sitting when the evening [A]
comes
[G] Watching the [B] ships roll in [C] Then I'll watch them roll away [A]
again
Yeah [G] I'm sitting on the [E] dock of the bay
Watching [G] the tide [E] roll away [G] Sitting on the [A] dock of the bay
Wasting [G] time [E]
I [G] left my [B] home in Georgia
[C] Headed for the [A] crystal bay [G] Because I've had [B] nothing to do for
It [C] looks like nothing's gonna [Bb] come my [A] way So I'm [G] just gonna sit on the dock of [E] the bay
Watching [G] the tide roll [Bm]
[E] away [G] I'm sitting on the dock of [A] the bay Wasting [G] time
[E]
I [G] look [D] like [C]
nothing's gonna change [G] [D] Everything [C]
still remains the [G] same
[D] I can't do [C] what ten people [G] tell me to do [F] So I guess I'll [D]
remain the same
[G] Sitting here resting [B] my bones And [C] this loneliness won't [Bb] leave me [A]
alone
[G] Two thousand [B] miles I roam Just [C] to make this dock my [A]
home
Now I'm [G] just gonna sit at the dock of [E] the bay
Watching [G] the tide roll [E]
away
[G] Sitting on the dock of [A] the bay Wasting [G] time
[E]
[G]
[Db]
[G]
[E]
I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
[G]
