[Verse]
G# C
I'm sittin' in the mornin' sun
C# A#
Sittin' when the evenin' comes
G# C
Watchin' the ships roll in
C# A#
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again

[Chorus]
G# F
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
G# A#
Watchin' the tide roll away
G# F
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
G# F
Wastin' time

(KEY CHANGE)
[Verse]

Left my home in Georgia

I was headed for the 'Frisco Bay
A C#
I had nothin' to live for
D B
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way

[Chorus]
A F#
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

[Bridge]
C# A D
Looks like nothin's ever gonna change
C# A D
Everything still remains the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess that I'll just remain the same

Sittin' here restin' my bones
D# C#
And this loneliness won't leave me alone

Two thousand miles I roamed

Just to make this dock my home

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
A# C#
Watchin' the tide roll away
A# G
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
