G                       B
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
        C                          A
I'll be sittin' 'till the evenin' comes
G                  B
Watching the ships roll in
  C                      A
I watch them roll away again

[Chorus]
    G                            E7
So I'm just gonna sittin' on the dock of the bay
             G            E7
Watchin' the tide roll away
    G                            A
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
         G   E7
Wastin' time

[Verse 2]
  G                  B
I left my home in Georgia
    C                       A
And headed for the Frisco Bay
G                   B
I've had nothin' to live for
          C                         A
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way

[Chorus]
    G                            E7
So I'm just gonna sittin' on the dock of the bay
             G            E7
Watchin' the tide roll away
    G                            A
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
         G   E7
Wastin' time

[Bridge]
G        D  C                  A
 Looks like nothin's gonna change
G        D      C                  A
 Everything, still remains the same
G         D      C
 I can't do what ten people tell me to do
   F                         D
So, I guess I'll remain the same

[Verse 3]
G             B
 Sittin' here restin' my bones
         C                           A
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
G                   B
Two thousand miles, I roam
     C                     A
Just to make this dock my home

[Chorus]
    G                            E7
So I'm just gonna sittin' on the dock of the bay
             G            E7
Watchin' the tide roll away
    G                            A
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
         G   E7
Wastin' time

[Outro Chorus]
G                            E7
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
             G            E7
Watchin' the tide roll away
G                            A
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
         G   E7
Wastin' time
