[G] [Bb] [B]
[C] [A]
[G] Sitting in [Bb] the [B] morning Sun
I'll [C] be sitting when [G] the [A] evening comes
[G] Watching [A] the [Bb] ships [B] rolling
And [C] I'll [G] watch them roll away
[A] again
So [G] I'm gonna sit on the dock of [E] the bay and watch [G] the tide
Roll [E]
away
[G] I'm gonna sit on the dock of [A] the bay and waste [G] my time I
[E]
[G] Left my [Bb] home [B] in Georgia
[C] Headed for the Frisco [A]
Bay [G] I
Have [B] nothing to live for

Sitting here [Bb] resting [B] my bones and this [C] loneliness won't leave [A] me alone
It's [G] two thousand [Bb] [B] miles I've roamed
[C] Just to make this dock [A] my home
So [G] I'm gonna sit on the dock of [E] the bay and watch [G] the tide
