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:
Sittin in the mornin sun,
I ll be sittin when the evenin comes.
Watching the ships roll in,
then I watch em roll away again, yeah.
Chorus:
I m sittin on the dock of the bay,
watching the tide roll away.
Oo, I m just sittin on the dock of the bay,
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:
Look like nothing s gonna change.
Ev rything still remains the same.
I can t do what ten people tell me to do,
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:
