(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay
Otis Redding
Sittin' in the mornin' sun [Verse] F A7
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come Bb G
Watching the ships roll in
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah
[Chorus] F D F D - F G F D
(I'm sittin' on) the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
[Intro]
I left my home in Georgia F F F F
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's [Chorus]
gonna come my way (So I'm just
gon' sit on)
[Bridge] (F-C Bb-F x3) - D# C
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
Sittin' here, resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home [Chorus]
(Now I'm
[Coda - Whistle] F D (x5) just gon' sit at)
