[Verse 1] [G] Sittin' in the mornin' [B7] sun, I'll be [C] sittin' when the evenin' [A] comes. [G] Watching the ships roll [B7] in, (* C to A - play power chords chromatically down) Then I [C] watch 'em roll away a- [A] gain, yeah.
[Chorus] I'm [G] sittin' on the dock of the [E] bay Watching the [G] tide roll a- [E] way. Ooo, I'm just [G] sittin' on the dock of the [A] bay Wastin' [G] tim [E] e.
[Verse 2] I [G] left my home in [B7] Georgia, [C] Headed for the 'Frisco [A] Bay. [G] 'Cause I've had nothing to [B7] live for, And look like [C] nothing's gonna come my [A] way.
[Chorus] So I'm just gon' s [G] it on the dock of the b [E] ay, Watching the [G] tide roll a- [E] way. Ooo, I'm [G] sittin' on the dock of the [A] bay Wastin' [G] tim [E] e.
[Bridge] [G] ... Looks like [D] no [C]thing's gonna change, [G] Eve [D]rything [C] still remains the same. [G] I can't [D]do what ten[C] people tell me [G] to do [F] So I [F]guess I'll remain [D] the same, [D]yes.
[Verse 3] [G] Sittin' here resting my [B7] bones And this [C] loneliness won't leave me a [A] lone. "(Listen)" It's [G] two thousand miles I [B7] roamed, Just to [C] make this dock my [A] home.
[Chorus] Now I'm just gonna [G] sit at the dock of the [E] bay Watching the [G] tide roll a [E] way. Ooo, I'm [G] sittin' on the dock of the [A] bay, [G][E]
