Ok, here's the lyrics, chords and a little bit of tab.  I've only tab'ed the
main riff used in the chorus.  On the record Steve Cropper plays some very
rhythm guitar.


                   ================================



Verse 1:
        G                      B
        Sittin' in the mornin' sun,
                C                   B Bb A
        I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes.
        G                       B
        Watching the ships roll in,
               C               B Bb A
        then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah.

Chorus:
            G                          E
        I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay,
                     G          E
        watching the tide roll away.
                     G                          A
        Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
                G     E
        wastin' time.

Verse 2:
        I left my home in Georgia,
        headed for the 'Frisco Bay.
        I have nothing to live for,
        it look like nothin's gonna come my way.

Chorus:
        So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay,
        watching the tide roll away.
        Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
        wastin' time.

Bridge:
        G    D       C
        Look like nothing's gonna change.
        G  D   C
        Ev'rything still remains the same.
        G D             C               G
        I can't do what ten people tell me to do,
        F                 D
        so I guess I'll remain the same, yes.

Verse 3:
        I'm sittin' here restin' my bones,
        and this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes.
        Two thousand miles I roamed
        just to make this-a dock my home.

Chorus:
        Now, I'm just gon' sit at the dock of the bay,
        watching the tide roll away.
        Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
        wastin' time.

Main riff:
        The riff used during the choruses goes something like this...
