(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay Otis Redding
Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay
Otis Redding ( with Steve Cropper)
[G]Sittin' in the mornin' [B]sun
I'll be [C]sittin' when the evenin' [A]comes
[G]Watching the ships roll [B]in
And then I [C]watch 'em roll away [A]again, yeah
I'm [G]sittin' on the dock of the [Em]bay
Watching the [G]tide roll [Em]away
Ooo, I'm just [G]sittin' on the dock of the [A]bay
Wastin' [G]ti[E]me
I [G]left my home in [B]Georgia
[C]Headed for the 'Frisco [A]Bay
[G]'Cause I've had nothing to [B]live for
And look like[C] nothin's gonna come my [A]way
So I'm just gonna [G]sit on the dock of the [Em]bay
Watching the[G] tide roll [Em]away
Ooo, I'm [G]sittin' on the dock of the [A]bay
Wastin' [G]ti[E]me
[G]Looks like, [D7]nothing's gonna [C]change
[G]Everything [D7]still remains the [C]same
[G]I can't do [D7]what ten people t[C]ell me to do
[F]So I guess I'll remain[D] the same, yes
[G]Sittin' here resting my[B] bones
And this [C]loneliness won't leave me [A]alone
It's two [G]thousand miles I [B]roamed
Just to [C]make this dock my [A]home
Now I'm just [G]gonna sit on the dock of the [Em]bay
Watching the [G]tide roll [Em]away
Ooo, I'm [G]sittin' on the dock of the [A]bay
Wastin' [G]ti[E]me
Note: you can substitute B7 for B and a lot of people do, but I believe the B sounds better.
