Otis Redding, Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay (1968)
Key: :[A] (w: Steve Cropper, Otis Redding)
VERSE 1:
[A] Sitting in the morning
[C#7] sun
I'll be
[D] sitting when the evening
[B7] comes
[A] Watching the ships roll
[C#7] in
Then I
[D] watch 'em roll away
[B7] again
CHORUS:
Yeah, I'm
[A] sitting on the dock of the
[F#] bay
Watching the
[A] tide roll a-
[F#]-way
Ooh, I'm just
[A] sitting on the dock of the
[B] bay
Wasting
[A] time
[F#]
VERSE 2:
I
[A] left my home in
[C#7] Georgia
[D] Headed for the Frisco
[B7] bay
[A] I have nothing to live
[C#7] for
Looks like
[D] nothing's gonna come my
[B7] way
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
[A] Looks
[E] like
[D] nothings gonna
[E] change
[A] every-
[E]-thing still
[D] remains the
[E] same
[A] I can't
[E] do what
[D] ten people
[E] tell me to do
[G] so I guess I'll remain the
[E] same
VERSE 3:
[A] Sitting here resting my
[C#7] bones
And this
[D] loneliness won't leave me a-
[B7]-lone
[A] Two thousand miles, I
[C#7] roam
Just to
[D] make this dock my
[B7] home
REPEAT CHORUS:
