I'll be

comes

Watching the ships

Chorus
#Refrain
G
Sitting on the dock of the
E7
bay
Watching the
G
tide roll a
E7
way
I'm just
G
sitting on the dock of the
A7
bay
Wasting
G
time
E7
I
G
left my home in
B
Georgia
Headed
C
for the 'Frisco
A
bay
'Cause I
G
had nothin to
E
live for
And look like
C
nothing's gonna come my
A
way
So I'm just...

Look
D
like
C7
nothing's gonna change
G
Every
D
thing
C7
still remains the same
G
I can't
D
do what
C7
ten people tell
G
me to do
F
So I guess I'll re
D
main the same
G
Sittin here resting my

And this
C
loneliness won't leave me
A
alone
It's
G
two thousand miles I
B
roamed
Just to
C
make this dock my
A
home
Now, I'm just...
