Verse 1
[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.
Chorus
[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' time.
Verse 2
[G] [B7]
I left my home in Georgia,
[C] [A]
Headed for the 'Frisco Bay.
[G] [B7]
'Cause I've had nothing to live for,
[C] [A]
And look like nothing's gonna come my way.
Chorus
[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' time.

[G] [D] [C]
Looks like, nothing's gonna change,
[G] [D] [C]
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 re-main the same, yes.
Verse 3
[G] [B7]
Sittin' here resting my bones
[C] [A]
And this loneliness won't leave me alone. "(Listen)"
[G] [B7]
It's two thousand miles I roamed,
[C] [A]
Just to make this dock my home.
Chorus
[G] [E]
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
[G] [E]
Watching the tide roll away.
[G] [A]

[G] [E]
Wastin' time.
