Otis Redding, Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay (1968)
^{Key: :[G] (w: Steve Cropper, Otis Redding)}
VERSE 1:
[G] Sitting in the morning [B7] sun
I'll be [C] sitting when the evening [A7] comes
[G] Watching the ships roll [B7] in
Then I [C] watch 'em roll away [A7] again

CHORUS:
Yeah, I'm [G] sitting on the dock of the [E] bay
Watching the [G] tide roll a-[E]-way
Ooh, I'm just [G] sitting on the dock of the [A] bay
Wasting [G] time [E]

VERSE 2:
I [G] left my home in [B7] Georgia
[C] Headed for the Frisco [A7] bay
[G] I have nothing to live [B7] for
Looks like [C] nothing's gonna come my [A7] way

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
[G] Looks [D] like [C] nothings gonna [D] change
[G] every-[D]-thing still [C] remains the [D] same
[G] I can't [D] do what [C] ten people [D] tell me to do
[F] so I guess I'll remain the [D] same

VERSE 3:
[G] Sitting here resting my [B7] bones
And this [C] loneliness won't leave me a-[A7]-lone
[G] Two thousand miles, I [B7] roam
Just to [C] make this dock my [A7] home

REPEAT CHORUS:
