G#5                     C5 
I'm sittin' in the mornin' sun 
C#5                       A#5 
Sittin' when the evenin' comes 
G#5                      C5 
Watchin' the ships roll in 
          C#5                   A#5 
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again 
    G#5                         F5 
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay 
G#5                     A#5 
Watchin' the tide roll away 
    G#5                          F5 
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay 
        G#5      F5 
Wastin' time  

(KEY CHANGE) 


A5               C#5 
Left my home in Georgia 
      D5                      B5 
I was headed for the 'Frisco Bay 
A5                C#5 
I had nothin' to live for 
           D5                      B5 
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way 
    A5                          F#5 
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay 
A5                      B5 
Watchin' the tide roll away 
A5                          F#5 
Sittin' on the dock of the bay 
        A5    F#5 
Wastin' time  

BRIDGE: 
C#5         A5        D5 
Looks like nothin's ever gonna change 
C#5     A5          D5 
Everything still remains the same 
C#5      A5       D5 
I can't do what ten people tell me to do 
G5                         E5 
So I guess that I'll just remain the same

(KEY CHANGE) 
A#5                      D5                       
Sittin' here restin' my bones 
         D#5                        C#5 
And this loneliness won't leave me alone 
A#5                   D5 
Two thousand miles I roamed 
        D#5                C#5 
Just to make this dock my home 
    A#5                         G5 
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay 
A#5                     C#5 
Watchin' the tide roll away 
A#5                         G5 
Sittin' on the dock of the bay 
        A#5   C#5 
Wastin' time (precious time)
