VERSE 1-

G                      B
   Sittin' in the morning sun

C              C B Bb  A
   I'll be sittin' in the evening come

G                       B
   Watching the ships roll in,

C                C B Bb A
   then I watch them roll away   again, yeah

CHORUS-

G                          E
   I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

G          E
   watching the tide roll away

G                          A
   ooh I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

G    E
   wasting ti---ime

VERSE 2- [play like verse 1]

I left my home in Georgia
   Headed for the Frisco bay
   'Cause I've had nothing to live for
   and look like nothing's gonna come my way

CHORUS- [play like first chorus]

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
   watching the tide roll away, oooh
   I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
   wasting time

BRIDGE-
   -
   G      D      C2
     Look like nothing's gonna change

G      D         C2
          Everything still remains the same

G      D             C2         G
        I can't do what ten people tell me to do

F                    D
      So I guess I'll remain the same

VERSE 3- [play like verses 1 & 2]

Sittin' here resting my bones
   and this loneliness won't leave me alone
   These 2000 miles I roamed
   just to make this dock my home

CHORUS- [play like previous choruses]

Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
   watching the tide roll away, oooh
   Sittin' on the dock of the bay
   wasting time

OUTRO-

[whistle over these two chords and fade out]
   G             E
   G             E
