|----|-----|-----|-----|

| D                 | A                    |
Sitting in the morning sun  
| Bm                  | G               |
I'll be sitting when the evening comes  
| D                   | A                   |
Watching the ships roll in  
| Bm                       | G                |
And I watch them roll away again  

| D          | A         | Bm     | G   |
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay  
| D          | A         | Bm     | G   |
Wasting time  
| D          | A         | Bm     | G   |
I left my home in Georgia  
| D          | A         | Bm     | G   |
Heading for the Frisco Bay  

| D                   | A                |
'Cause I've had nothing to live for  
| Bm                      | G              |
And looks like nothing's gonna come my way  
| D          | A         | Bm     | G   |
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay  
| D          | A         | Bm     | G   |
Wasting time
