Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Sitting at the dock of the bay,
[B]take one.
[C][A][G][B]
And I [C]watch them roll away [A]again
I'm just sit[G]ting on the
dock of the [Em]bay
Watching the [G]tide roll [Em]away
[G]Sitting on the dock of the bay
[A]Wasting tim[G]e[Em][E][Em]
I [G]left my home in Geor[B]gia
[C]I'm for the Frisco [A]Bay
[G]I've got nothing to live [B]for
And it looks like [C]nothing's
gonna come [A]my way
So I'm just gonna [G]sit on the
dock of the [Em]bay
Watching the [G]tide roll away
[Em]Ooh, I'm sitti[G]n' on the
dock of [A]a bay,
wastin' [G]time[Em][G]
Look like [D]nothing [C]is gonna cha[G]nge
[D]Oh, how [C]everything's still the [G]same
I [D]can't do what [C]twenty
people [G]tell me to do
[F]So I guess I'll re[D]main the same,
sit[G]tin' here alone
[B]All this [C]loneliness won't leave me [A]alone
[G]Ten thousand miles [B]from home
Just to [C]make this dark my [A]home
So I'm just sit[G]tin' on a
darker [Em]bed[E]
Watchin' [Em]the t[G]ide roll a[Em]way
[G]Sittin' on the dock of the [A]bay
Wastin' [G]time[E][G]
[Em][E][G]
[E][G][G]
You're not going to make
it as a whistler.
Take two.
Stay in on the mic now, Steve.
