Otis Redding-Sittin On The Dock Of The Bay - BPM - 89

[Intro]
[G]
 
[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,
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  [D] like, [C]  nothing's gonna change,
[G]   Eve [D] rything [C]  still remains the same.
[G]   I can't  [D] do what  [C] ten people  [G] tell me to do
[F]   So I guess I'll re- [D] main the same, 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]     
 
[Coda]
[G]  [E] - repeat 1 bar each
