GSitting in the morning B7sun
I'll be Csitting when the evening Acomes
GWatching the ships roll B7in
Then I'll be Cwatching them roll away Aagain
[Chorus 1]
GSitting at the dock of the Ebay
Watching the Gtide roll aEway
GSitting at the dock of the Abay
Wasting GtimeE

GI left my home in B7Georgia
CHeaded for the Frisco ABay
I Ghad nothing to B7live for
Looks like Cnothing gonna come my Away
[Chorus 2]
So, I'm just Gsitting at the dock of the Ebay
Watching the Gtide roll aEway
GSitting at the dock of the Abay
Wasting GtimeE
