Sitting on the Dock of the Bay
Otis Redding
| G | G | B | C | B | Bb | A | |
| / / / / | Sitting in the morning | sun - I'll be | sitting when the | eve | ning | comes |
| G | B | C | B | Bb | A | |
| Watching the ships | roll in - And I | watch 'em roll a | way | a | gain |
| G | E7 | G | E7 | |
| Sitting on the dock of the | bay - Watching the | tide roll a | way |
| G | A7 | G | E7 | |
| I'm just | sitting on the dock of the | bay - Wasting | time |
| G | B | C | B | Bb | A | |
| I | left my home in | Georgia - Headed | for the ' | Fris | co | bay |
| G | E | C | B | Bb | A | |
| 'Cause I | had nothin to | live for - And look like | nothing's gonna | come | my | way! |
| So I'm just |
| Sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time. |
| G | D | C7 | |
| Look | like | nothing's gonna change |
| G | D | C7 | |
| Every | thing | still remains the same |
| G | D | C7 | G | |
| I can't | do what | ten people tell | me to do |
| F | D | |
| So I guess I'll re | main the same |
| G | B | C | B | Bb | A | |
| Sittin here resting my | bones - And this | loneliness won't leave | me | a | lone |
| G | B | C | B | Bb | A | |
| It's | two thousand miles I | roamed - Just to | make this dock | my a | - | home |
| Now, I'm just |
| Sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time. |
