Otis Redding, Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay (1968)
Key: :[G#] (w: Steve Cropper, Otis Redding)
VERSE 1:
[G#] Sitting in the morning
[C7] sun
I'll be
[C#] sitting when the evening
[A#7] comes
[G#] Watching the ships roll
[C7] in
Then I
[C#] watch 'em roll away
[A#7] again
CHORUS:
Yeah, I'm
[G#] sitting on the dock of the
[F] bay
Watching the
[G#] tide roll a-
[F]-way
Ooh, I'm just
[G#] sitting on the dock of the
[A#] bay
Wasting
[G#] time
[F]
VERSE 2:
I
[G#] left my home in
[C7] Georgia
[C#] Headed for the Frisco
[A#7] bay
[G#] I have nothing to live
[C7] for
Looks like
[C#] nothing's gonna come my
[A#7] 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
[C7] bones
And this
[C#] loneliness won't leave me a-
[A#7]-lone
[G#] Two thousand miles, I
[C7] roam
Just to
[C#] make this dock my
[A#7] home
REPEAT CHORUS:
