        I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay,
                     G          E
        watching the tide roll away.

        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.

        G    D       C
        Look like nothing's gonna change.
        G  D   C
        Ev'rything 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 remain the same, yes.
