[Verse 1]

G                      B7
Sitting in the morning sun
        C                        A
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
G                       B7
Watching the ships roll in
             C                       A
Then I'll be watching them roll away again


[Chorus 1]

G                          E
Sitting on the dock of the bay
             G          E
Watching the tide roll away
G                          A
Sitting at the dock of the bay
        G   C/G
Wasting time


[Verse 2]

G                 B7
I left my home in Georgia
C                     A
Headed for the Frisco Bay
  G              B7
I had nothing to live for
           C                     A
Looks like nothing gonna come my way


[Chorus 2]

             G                          E
So, I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
             G          E
Watching the tide roll away
G                          A
Sitting at the dock of the bay
        G
Wasting time


[Bridge]

G          D              C         G
Looks like nothing's gonna change
     D             C         G
Everything still remains the same
        D           C                 G
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
F               D
So I guess I'll remain the same


[Verse 3]

G                       B7
Sitting here resting my bones
        C                         A
And the loneliness won't leave me alone
G                    B7
Two thousand miles I roam
        C                 A
Just to make this dock my home


[Chorus 3]

             G                        E
Now I'm just sitting on the dock of a bay
             G          E
Watching the tide roll away
G                          A
Sitting at the dock of the bay
        G   C G C G C G C
Wasting time
