Otis Redding - Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay chords
Start Jamming...
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] Sitting on the dock of [B] the bay, watching [G] the tide roll [B] away, [E] ooh
[G] Sitting on the dock of [A] the bay, wasting [G] time
[E]
[G] I left my home [B] in Georgia,
[C] headed for the Crystal [A] Bay
[G] Well 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, ooh
[G] Sitting on the dock [A] of the bay, [G] wasting time
[E]
[G] Looks [C] like nothing's gonna [G] change, everything [C] still remains the [G] same
I can't [C] do what ten people tell me [Gm] to do, [F] so I guess [D] I'll remain the same
[G] Sitting here resting [B] my bones, and this [C] loneliness won't leave [A] me alone
[G] This two thousand [B] miles I roamed, [C] just to make this dock [A] my home
Now [G] I'm just gonna sit at the dock [B] of the bay, watching [G] the tide roll [B] away, ooh
[G] Sitting on the dock [A] of the bay, [G] wasting time
