Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Sitting in the morning sun[B],
I'll be [C]sitting when the evening [A]comes
Watch[G]ing the ships roll in[B],
and then I'll [C]watch them roll away again,
[A]yeah
I'm [G]sittin' on the dock of the [Em]bay,
[E]watch[Em]ing the t[G]ide roll a[Em]way.
[E]I'm jus[Em]t sittin[G]' on the dock of the bay[A],
wastin' [G]time.[E]
I [G]left my home [B]in Georgia,
[C]headed for the Frisco [A]Bay.
Cause [G]I've had nothing to [B]live for
And it looks like [C]nothing's
gonna come [A]my way
So I'm just gonna [G]sit on the dock of a bay
[Em]Watc[E]hing the tide [G]roll away
[Em]Ooh, I'm sitti[G]n' on a darker bed,[A]
wastin' [G]time[E][G]
Look [D]like noth[C]ing's gonna
[G]change
[D]Everything [C]still remains the same
[G]I can[D]'t do what ten[C] people tell me [G]to do
[F]So I guess I'll remain [D]the same
Listen, I'm [G]sitting here resting my [B]bones
And this [C]loneliness won't
leave me [A]alone
Listen, [G]two thousand miles [B]I roam
Just to [C]make this dock my [A]home
Now I'm just gonna [G]sit at
the dock of a [Em]bay
Watching the [G]tide roll away
[Em]I'm sitt[G]in' on a docke[A]r, babe,
wastin' [G]time[E][G][D][G][Em][E][Em][G]
[Em]
