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

(KEY CHANGE) 


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

BRIDGE: 
C#         A        D 
Looks like nothin's ever gonna change 
C#     A          D 
Everything still remains the same 
C#      A       D 
I can't do what ten people tell me to do 
G                         E7 
So I guess that I'll just remain the same 

SOLO:

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