1. Sittin' in the mornin' sun

	C		  C  H   B    A

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come

G			     H

Watching the ships roll in

		C		C  H   B   A

And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah



        	     G		       G     Fis  F     E

Ref.: I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

		 G     G Fis F E

Watching the tide roll away

G			         A

Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

	   G  G Fis F E

Wastin' time



2. I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the 'Frisco bay

'Cause I've had nothing to live for

And look like nothin's gonna come my way



Ref.: So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay...



G	  D    C

Looks like nothing's gonna change

G	  D   C

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



3. Sittin' here resting my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's two thousand miles I roamed

Just to make this dock my home



Ref.: Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay...
