Otis Redding

[G] Sittin' in the mornin' [B] sun,

I'll be [C] sittin' when the eve-[B]-ning [Bb][A] comes.

[G] Watching the ships roll [B] in,

Then I [C] watch 'em roll a-[B]-way [Bb] a-[A]-gain, yeah.

I'm [G] sittin' on the dock of the [E] bay,

Watching the [G] tide roll a-[E]-way.

Oo, I'm just [G] sittin' on the dock of the [A] bay,

Wastin' [G] time. [E]

I [G] left my home in [B] Georgia,

[C] Headed for the [B] Fris-[Bb]-co [A] Bay.

[G] I have nothing to [B] live for,

Look like [C] nothin's gonna [B] come [Bb] my [A] way.

Now, I'm just [G] sittin' on the dock of the [E] bay,

Watching the [G] tide roll a-[E]-way.

Oo, I'm just [G] sittin' on the dock of the [A] bay,

Wastin' [G] time. [E]

[G] Look [D] like [C] nothing's gonna change.

[G] Every-[D]-thing still [C] remains the same.

[G] I can't [D] do what [C] ten people tell me [G] to do,

[F] So I guess I'll re-[D]-main the same, yes.

I'm [G] sittin' here restin' my [B] bones,

And this [C] loneliness won't [B] leave [Bb] me a-[A]-lone, yes.

[G] Two thousand miles I [B] roamed

Just to [C] make this a [B] dock [Bb] my [A] home.

Now, Im just [G] sittin' on the dock of the [E] bay,

Watching the [G] tide roll a-[E]-way.

Oo, I'm just [G] sittin' on the dock of the [A] bay,

Wastin' [G] time. [E]

Whistle to [G][G][G][G][G][G][G][E] and fade
