(Sittin’ On) THE DOCK OF THE BAY
by: Steve Cropper & Otis Redding
Key: F
-2 -2 -2 -2 3 -2 -3
Sit-tin’ in the morn-ing sun
-3 -3 -3* -3* -3* -3* -3* -33* 3
I'll be sit-tin’ when the eve-nin’ comes
-2 -2 -2 3 -2 -3
Watch-in’ the ships roll in
-3 -3 -3* -3* -3* -3* 4 -33* 3
Then I watch 'em roll a-way a-gain
3 -1 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -3
Yeah! I’m sit-tin’ on the dock of the bay
-3 -3 -3 -54-33-2 3 -2 -3 -5 -3
Watch-ing the tide roll a-way oo-ee
-1 -2 -2 -1 -2 -2 -2 3
Sit-tin’ on the dock of the bay
3 -2 -1 -2-3-2-1
Wast-ing time
-1 -2 -2 3 -2 -3 -3
I left my home in Geor-gia
-3* -3* -3* -3* -3* -33* 3
Head-ed for the 'Fris-co bay
-2 -2 3 3 -2 -3 -3
I have noth-in to live for
-3 -3 -3* -3* -3* -3* 4 -33* 3
Looks like noth-ing's gon-na come my way
3 -2 -2 -1 -1 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -3
So I'm just gon-na sit on the dock of the bay
-3 -3 -3 -54-33-2 3 -2 -3 -5 -3
Watch-ing the tide roll a-way oo-ee
-1 -2 -2 -1 -2 -2 -2 3
Sit-tin’ on the dock of the bay
3 -2 -1 -2-3-2-1
Wast-ing time
-6 -5 -6 -5 -5 4 -3-2-3
Look like noth-ing's gon-na change
-5 4 4 -3 -2 -3 3 3 -2
Ev-‘ry-thing still re-mains the same
-6 -5 -5 5 -6 -5 5 -5 5 -3 3-2
I can't do what ten peo-ple tell me to do
-5*-5* -5* -5* 5 -5* 5 -5*5
So I guess I'll re-main the same
-2 -2 -2 3 3 -2 -3
Sit-tin here rest-ing my bones
-3 -3 -3* -3* -3* -3* -3* -3 3* 3
And this lone-li-ness won't leave me a-lone
-2 -2 -2 3 -2 -3
Two thous-and miles I roamed
-3 -3 -3* -3* -3* -33* 3
Just to make this dock my home
3 -2 -2 -1 -1 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -3
Now I'm just gon-na sit on the dock of the bay
-3 -3 -3 -54-33-2 3 -2 -3 -5 -3
Watch-ing the tide roll a-way oo-ee
-1 -2 -2 -1 -2 -2 -2 3
Sit-tin’ on the dock of the bay
3 -2 -1 -2-3-2-1
Wast-ing time
