The Dock of the Bay Chords by Otis Redding

[Start]

[Verse]
G                        B  
■ Sittin' in the mornin' sun
        C                        A   
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
G                       B7
Watching the ships roll in
      C                   A         
And I watch 'em roll away again yeah
G                              E  
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
             G         E   
Watching the tide roll away
             G                          A  
Ooh I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
        G    E
Wastin' time ■


[Chorus]
G                 B7     
I left my home in Georgia
C                      A  
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
A7 G                          B7   B  
■  'cause I've had nothing to live for
B7            C                       A  
And look like nothing's gonna come my way
                  G                      E7 
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
             G         E   
Watching the tide roll away
        G                          A  
Ooh I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
        G    E
Wastin' time ■
G D         C               G     
■ Look like nothing's gonna change
D          C                 G   
Everything still remains the same
  D             C          G          F 
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
                D                  
So I guess I'll remain the same yes


[Verse]
G                       B7   
Sittin' here resting my bones
         C                         A    
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
     G                    B7    
It's two thousand miles I roamed
        C                 A   
Just to make this dock my home
                   G                      E  
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
             G         E   
Watching the tide roll away
       G                          A  
Oohwee sittin' on the dock of the bay
        G   
Wastin' time
