        G                      B
        Sittin' in the mornin' sun,
                C                   B Bb A
        I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes.
        G                       B
        Watching the ships roll in,
               C               B Bb A
        then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah.

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

               C           B Bb A
        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                                 E
        So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay,
                     G           E
        watching the tide roll away.
                     G                          A

        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.

        and this loneliness  won't leave me alone, yes.
        G                   B

                C            B Bb A
        just to make this-a dock my home.
