intro G
  verse1     [G]Sittin' in the morning [B]sun
           I'll be [C]sittin' when the evening c[A]omes
           [G]Watching the ships roll [B]in
           Then I [C]watch 'em roll away ag[A]ain

Headed for the Frisco Bay
Coz I had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way, so I'm
chorus
  bridge     [G]Looks [D]like n[C]othing's gonna change
           [G]Everyth[D]ing still re[C]mains the same   (this line is wrong)

           [F]So I guess I'll rem[D]ain the same

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
This two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

This will hopefully help you with the proper strum and sequence of the song. I know I didn't get all the barrs perfectly clear but it's good for a reference:) Peace!

Had a listen to the original song and your second line in the bridge is correct. The Em at the end of the verse (waisting time) is an E major in the original song.
