**Chords:**
   D    A    Bm    G

   D            A
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
   Bm               G
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
   D               A
Watching the ships roll in
   Bm               G
And I watch 'em roll away again

   D           A
Yeah, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
   Bm               G
Wastin' time

   D             A
I left my home in Georgia
   Bm                 G
Headed for the Frisco Bay
   D                A
'Cause I've had nothin' to live for
   Bm              G
And look like nothin's gonna come my way

   D           A
So I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
   Bm               G
Wastin' time

   D                 A
Looks like nothin's gonna change
   Bm                 G
Everything still remains the same
   D               A
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
   Bm                  G
So I guess I'll remain the same

   D           A
Sittin' here resting my bones
   Bm                G
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
   D               A
It's two thousand miles I roam
   Bm               G
Just to make this dock my home

   D           A
Now I'm just sittin' at the dock of the bay
   Bm               G
Wastin' time
