G                      B 
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
        C                  B  Bb  A
I'll be sittin' when the evening  comes
G                       B
Watchin' the ships roll in
       C               B Bb A
Then I watch 'em roll away  again, yeah
    G                          E
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
             G         E
Watchin' the tide roll away
     G                         A
Just sittin on the dock of the bay
        G  E
Wastin' time
G                 B
I left my home in Georgia
C                B Bb A
Headed for the Frisco Bay
G                 B
I have nothing to live for
          C                  B Bb A
Look like nothing's gonna come my way, yeah
       G                          E
So I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
             G         E
Watchin' the tide roll away
              G                          A
Yes, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
        G  E
Wastin' time
G    D    C       
Look like nothing's gonna change
G    D           C
Everything still remains the same
G       D           G7
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
F                D
So, I guess I'll remain the same
G                       B
Sittin' hear resting my bones
          C                    B Bb A     
And this loneliness won't leave me  alone, yeah
    G                    B
But two thousand miles I roam
        C             B Bb A
Just to make this dock my  home, yeah
        G                          E
Now I'm sittin' at the dock of the bay
             G         E
Watching the tide roll away, yeah
         G                          A
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
        G  E   G    E    G
Wastin' time   (whistleing)
