 Verse 1:
	G                      E7
	Sittin' in the mornin' sun,
	           F                  D7
	I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes.
	G                       E7
	Watching the ships roll in,
	         F                  D7
	then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah.
Chorus:
	    C                       Am   
	I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay,
	         C          Am
	watching the tide roll away.
	 C             Am            C             D7/C
	Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
	        C   Am  
	wastin' time.
Verse 2:
	G                      B
	I left my home in Georgia,
	C                   B Bb A
	headed for the 'Frisco Bay.
	G                      B
	I have nothing to live for,
	C                   B Bb A
	it look like nothin's gonna come my way.
Bridge:
	G7    F7       F
	Look like nothing's gonna change.
	G  C   F
	Ev'rything 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.
Verse 3:
	G                      B
	I'm sittin' here restin' my bones,
	C                   B Bb A
	and this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes.
	C                   B Bb A
	Two thousand miles I roamed
	G                      B
	just to make this-a dock my home..
