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