Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay
Otis Redding / Steve Cropper
G
Sitting in the morning
B7
sun;
I'll be
C
sitting when the evening
A
comes.
G
Watching the ships roll
B7
in
And I
C
watch 'em roll away a
A
gain, yeah.
Chorus
G
Sitting on the dock of the
E
bay
Watching the
G
tide roll aw
E
ay.
I'm just
G
sitting on the dock of the
A
bay
Wasting
G
time.
E
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I had nothin to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way
So I'm just...
#repeat chorus
G
Look
D7
like nothing's gonna change
G
E
D7
verything
C
still remains the same
G
I
D7
can't do what people tell
G
me to do.
F
So I guess I'll remain
D
the same.
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
Now, I'm just...
#repeat chorus
(Whistle)
