[Verse]
G# C
I'm sittin' in the mornin' sun
C# A#
Sittin' when the evenin' comes
G# C
Watchin' the ships roll in
C# A#
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again
[Chorus]
G# F
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
G# A#
Watchin' the tide roll away
G# F
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
G# F
Wastin' time
(KEY CHANGE)
[Verse]
A C#
Left my home in Georgia
D B
I was headed for the 'Frisco Bay
A C#
I had nothin' to live for
D B
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
[Chorus]
A F#
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
A B
Watchin' the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
A F#
Wastin' time
[Bridge]
C# A D
Looks like nothin's ever gonna change
C# A D
Everything still remains the same
C# A D
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
G E7
So I guess that I'll just remain the same
[Solo]
A C# D B
(KEY CHANGE)
[Verse]
A# D
Sittin' here restin' my bones
D# C#
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
A# D
Two thousand miles I roamed
D# C#
Just to make this dock my home
[Chorus]
A# G
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
A# C#
Watchin' the tide roll away
A# G
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
A# C#
Wastin' time (precious time)
