11/19/05
I'm [G#]sittin' in the mornin' [C]sun
[C#]Sittin' when the evenin' [A#]comes
[G#]Watchin' the ships roll [C]in
Then I'll [C#]watch 'em roll away a[A#]gain
CHORUS:
I'm [G#]sittin' on the dock of the [F]bay
[G#]Watchin' the tide roll [A#]away
I'm [G#]sittin' on the dock of the b[F]ay
Wastin' [G#]time[F]
(KEY CHANGE)
[A]Left my home in [C#]Georgia
I was [D]headed for the 'Frisco [B]Bay
[A]I had nothin' to [C#]live for
Looks like [D]nothin's gonna come my [B]way
CHORUS:
I'm [A]sittin' on the dock of the [F#]bay
[A]Watchin' the tide roll [B]away
[A]Sittin' on the dock of the [F#]bay
Wastin' [A]time[F#]
BRIDGE:
[C#]Looks like [A]nothin's [D]ever gonna change
[C#]Everyth[A]ing still r[D]emains the same
[C#]I can't [A]do what [D]ten people tell me to do
[G]So I guess that I'll just [E7]remain the same
SOLO: A C# D B
(KEY CHANGE)
[A#]Sittin' here restin' my [D]bones
And this [D#]loneliness won't leave me [C#]alone
[A#]Two thousand miles I [D]roamed
Just to [D#]make this dock my [C#]home
CHORUS:
I'm [A#]sittin' on the dock of the [G]bay
[A#]Watchin' the tide roll [C#]away
[A#]Sittin' on the dock of the [G]bay
Wastin' [A#]time [C#](precious time)
