(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay  Otis Redding & Steve Cropper

INTRO       G     DD         DD

G                        B
Sittin' in the mornin' sun,
            C                      B Bb A
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes.
G                                   B
Watching the ships roll in,
         C                    B Bb A
then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah.

	
CHORUS
      G                         E
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay,
              G          E
watching the tide roll away.
              G                          A
Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
          G             E
wastin' time.


  G                 B
I left my home in Georgia,
  C                B  Bb A
headed for the 'Frisco Bay.
 G                            B	
I have    nothing to live for,
C                            B Bb A
it look like nothin's gonna come my way.

	
CHORUS
		

Bridge:
G               D                C
Look like      nothing's gonna change.
G            D        C
Ev'rything      still remains the same.
G                D            C                           
I can't do what ten people tell me to do,
Dm7   (F)          D
so I guess I'll remain the same, yes.

  G                           B
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones,
           C                B    Bb  A
and this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes.
    G                   B
Two thousand miles I roamed
         C              B  Bb  A
just to make this   a dock my home.
