Otis Redding-Sittin On The Dock Of The Bay - BPM - 103
[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,
(* 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]
