(Sittin' on the) Dock of the Bay
Otis Redding



Also using [B7-2]can be useful - may be easier than barre
G                      B7
Sittin' in the morning sun
        C                         A
I'll be sittin' when the  evenin' comes
G                       B7
Watching the ships roll in
      C                     A
And I watch 'em roll away a-gain


G                          E7
Sitting on the dock of the bay
             G           E7
watching the tide roll a-way
         G                          A           G E7
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time


  G               B7
I left my home in Georgia
C                      A
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
       G               B7
'Cause I had nothin to live for
              C                       A
And look like nothing's gonna come my way


                  G                      E7
So I'm just gonna Sit on the dock of the bay
             G           E7
watching the tide roll a-way
    G                          A           G E7
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time


G    D    C
Look like nothing's gonna change
G   D          C
E-e--verything still remains the same
G         D       C                  G
  I can't do what ten people tell me to do
F                    D
  So I guess I'll re-main the same


G                       B7
Sittin' here resting my bones
         C                         A
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
     G                    B7
It's two thousand miles I roamed
        C                 A
Just to make this dock my home


              G                          E7
Now, I'm just Sittin' on the dock of the bay
             G           E7
watching the tide roll a-way
G                          A           G E7
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wasting time
