[Intro]
| G | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
G                      B
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
        C                   B Bb  A
I'll be sittin' when the eve_nin' comes
G                       B
Watchin' the ships roll in
       C                  B Bb A
Then I watch 'em roll away  a_gain

[Chorus]
    G                      E
I'm sittin' on the dock of bay
                  G       E
Watchin' the tide , roll away
G                          A
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
        G   E
Wastin' time

[Verse 2]
  G               B
I left my home in Georgia
   C               B Bb A
Headed for the Frisco   Bay
       G                 B
'Cause I have nothin' to live for
               C                   B Bb A
And looks like nothin's gonna come my   way,
so

[Chorus]
              G                      E
I'm just come sittin' on the dock of bay
                 G      E
Watchin' the tide roll away
    G                      A
I'm sittin' on the dock of bay,
        G
wastin' time
E

[Bridge]
G      D    C
 Looks like nothin's gonna change
G   D             C
 Everything still remain the same
G  D             C               G
 I can't do what ten people tell me to do
F                      D
 So I guess I'll remain the same

[Verse 3]
G                       B
Sittin' here restin' my bones
             C                  B  Bb A
And this loneliness won't leave me a_lone
     G                    B
This two thousand miles I roamed
        C              B Bb A
Just to make this dock my   home

[Chorus]
               G                  E
Now I'm just a sit at the dock of bay
                 G      E
Watchin' the tide roll away
G                      A
Sittin' on the dock of bay
        G   E
Wastin' time
