DOCK OF THE BAY  
Otis Redding and Steve Cropper  
  
      G5                      B5  
      Sittin' in the mornin' sun  
            C5                     A5  
      I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes  

      Watchin' the ships roll in  

      And I watch 'em roll away again  


         G5                      E5  
 Ch:      Sittin' on the dock of the bay  
                   G5          E5  
      Watchin' the tide roll away  
         G5                     A5  
      Sittin' on the dock of the bay  
              G5      E5  
       Wastin' time          

      I left my home in Georgia  

      Headed for the Frisco Bay  

      I have nothin' to live for  

      Look like nothin's gonna come my way  


         G5                      E5  
 Ch:      Sittin' on the dock of the bay  
                   G5          E5  
      Watchin' the tide roll away  
         G5                     A5  
      Sittin' on the dock of the bay  
              G5      E5  
       Wastin' time   
 B:       G5         D5         C5  
      Looks like nothin's gonna change  
       G5      D5          C5      
      Everything still remains the same  
      G5       D5        C5  
      I can't do what ten people tell me to do  
      F5                 D5 
      So I guess I'll remain the same  
  
      Sittin' here restin' my bones  

      Wish this loneliness would leave me alone  

      For 2,000 miles I roam  

      Just to make this dock my home  


         G5                      E5  
 Ch:      Sittin' on the dock of the bay  
                   G5          E5  
      Watchin' the tide roll away  
         G5                     A5  
      Sittin' on the dock of the bay  
              G5      E5  
       Wastin' time
