G B7 Watching the ships roll in, C7 C7(B7Bb7) A7 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 A7 Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, G E wastin' time. Verse 2: G B7 I left my home in Georgia, C7 C7(B7Bb7) A7 headed for the 'Frisco Bay. G B7 I have nothing to live for, C7 C7(B7Bb7) A7 it look like nothin's gonna come my way. Bridge: G D C Look like nothing's gonna change. G D C Everything still remains the same. G D C I can't do what ten people tell me to do, F D7 so I guess I'll remain the same, yes. Verse 3: G B7 I'm sittin' here restin' my bones, C7 C7(B7Bb7) A7 and this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes. G B7 Two thousand miles I roamed C7 C7(B7Bb7) A7 just to make this-a dock my home..
