Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6 Version 8 Version 9[Verse 1] 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. [Chorus] G E I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, G E watching the tide roll away. G A Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, G E wastin' time. [Verse 2] G B I left my home in Georgia, 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. [Chorus] G E I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, G E watching the tide roll away. G A Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, G E wastin' time. [Bridge] 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. [Verse 3] G B I'm sittin' here restin' my bones, C B Bb A and this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes. G B Two thousand miles I roamed C B Bb A just to make this-a dock my home.. [Chorus] G E Now I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay, G E watching the tide roll away. G A Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, G E wastin' time. [Outro] G E
