[Intro]
G
[Strophe]
G                      B7
Sittin' in the mornin' sun 
        C                        A 
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come 
G                       B7 
Watching the ships roll in 
          C                    A 
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah
[Refrain]
    G                          E 
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay 
             G          E 
Watching the tide roll away 
              G                          A 
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay 
        G  E 
Wastin' time
[Strophe]
  G               B7 
I left my home in Georgia 
C                      A 
Headed for the 'Frisco Bay 
G                 B7 
I have nothing to live for 
          C                      A 
Look like nothin's gonna come my way
[Refrain]
                  G                      E 
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay 
             G          E 
Watching the tide roll away 
         G                          A 
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay 
        G  E 
Wastin' time
[Pont]
G     D     C               G 
 Look like, nothing's gonna change 
G    D             C         G 
Everything still remains 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, yes
[Strophe]
G                       B7 
Sittin' here resting my bones 
         C                          A 
And this loneliness won't leave me alone 
     G                    B7 
It's two thousand miles I roam 
        C                 A 
Just to make this dock my home
[Refrain]
                   G                      E 
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay 
             G          E 
Watching the tide roll away 
         G                          A 
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay 
        G  E 
Wastin' time
[Outro]
G  E
