G                                       B7                C                                            A

Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes

G                                             B7                      C                                            A

Watching the ships roll in And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

      G                                               E                                  G                   E

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away

                           G                                               A                      G         E

Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia Headed for the 'Frisco Bay

'Cause I've had nothing to live for, And look like nothin's gonna come my way

Chorus

 

G           D       C                               G

Looks like, nothing's gonna change

G        D         C                               G

Everything still remains the same

G          D               C                   G

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

F                               D

So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

Sittin' here resting my bones, And this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's two thousand miles I roamed, Just to make this dock my home

Chorus
