G                      B7 
Sittin' in the mornin' sun 
        C                        A 
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes 
G                       B7 
Watching the ships roll in 
           C                    A 
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah 
    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 
  G               B7 
I left my home in Georgia 
C                      A 
Headed for the 'Frisco Bay 
G                          B7 
'Cause I've had nothing to live for 
              C                      A 
And look like nothin's gonna come my way 
                  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 
G     D     C               G 
Looks 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 
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 roamed 
        C                 A 
Just to make this dock my home 
                   G                      E 
Now 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 
Watchin time
