(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay

by Otis Redding

v.1
GSittin in the mornin' Bsun, I'll be Csittin' when the evening Acomes
GWatchin' the ships roll Bin, an' I'll Cwatch 'em roll away aAgain

Chorus:
I'm just a Gsittin' on the dock of the Ebay
Watchin' the Gtide roll aEway
GSittin' on the dock of the Abay
Wastin' GtimeE

v.2
I left my home in Georgia, headed for Frisco Bay
I have nothin' to live for, looks like nothin's gonna come my way

Rpt. Ch.
Refrain:
GLooks Dlike Cnothin's gonna change
GEveryDthing still reCmains the same
GI can't Ddo what ten Cpeople tell me to do
FSo I guess I'll reDmain the same, yes

v.3
Sittin' here restin' my bones,
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

Rpt. Ch.
