G

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
Then I	watch ‘em roll away a	gain, yeah

	G	E
I’m	sittin’ on the dock of the	bay

	G	E
Watching the	tide roll a	way

	G	A
Ooo, I’m just	sittin’ on the dock of the	bay

	G	E
Wastin’	tim	e

	G	B7
I	left my home in	Georgia

C	A
Headed for the ‘Frisco	Bay

	G	B7
‘Cause	I had nothing to	live for

	C	A
It looks like	nothin’s gonna come my	way

	G	E
So I’m just gon’	sit on the dock of the	bay

	G	E
Watching the	tide roll a	way

	G	A
Ooo, I’m	sittin’ on the dock of the	bay

	G	E
Wastin’	tim	e

Bridge

Vox start on the 1 on the first line, then the 6, then the 1

G	D	C
Look	like,	nothing’s gonna change

G	D	C
Everyt	hing	still remains the same

G	D	C	G
I can’t	do what	ten people	tell me to do

Vox on the 1 of the chord

F	D
So I guess I’ll re	main the same, yes

G	B7
Sittin’ here resting my	bones

	C	A
And this	loneliness won’t leave me a	lone

	G	B7
It’s	two thousand miles I	roam

	C	A
Just to	make this dock my	home

	G	E
Now I’m just gonna	sit at the dock of the	bay

	G	E
Watching the	tide roll a	way

	G	A
Ooo, I’m	sittin’ on the dock of the	bay

	G	E
Wastin’	tim	e

With whistling
