1. Sitting in the morning sun. I'll be sitting when the evening comes,
|D |F# |G G F# F E |E
watching the ships roll in the I watch'em roll away again. Yeah!

Refr. I'm sitting on the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away,
|D |E |D |H
oo-ee, sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time.
2. I left my home in Georgia, headed for the Frisco bay.
I have nothing to live for, looks like nothing's gonna come my way
Refr. so I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away,
oo-ee, sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time.

Bridge. Look like nothing's gonna change, everything still remains the same.
|D A |G G D |C |A
I can't do what ten people tell me to so I guess I'll remain the same.
3. Sitting here resting my bones and this loneliness won't leave me alone.
Two thousand miles I roamed just to make this dock my home.
Refr. so I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away,
oo-ee, sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time.
