The Dock Of The Bay

Waylon Jennings


Tom: Bm

    G#                     C
I'm sittin' in the mornin' sun
C#                       A#
Sittin' when the evenin' comes
G#                      C
Watchin' the ships roll in
          C#                   A#
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again


[Chorus]
    G#                         F
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
G#                     A#
Watchin' the tide roll away
    G#                          F
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
        G#      F
Wastin' time


(KEY CHANGE)
[Verse]
A               C#
Left my home in Georgia
      D                      B
I was headed for the 'Frisco Bay
A                C#
I had nothin' to live for
           D                      B
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way


[Chorus]
    A                          F#
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
A                      B
Watchin' the tide roll away
A                          F#
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
        A    F#
Wastin' time


[Bridge]
C#         A        D
Looks like nothin's ever gonna change
C#     A          D
Everything still remains the same
C#      A       D
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
G                         E7
So I guess that I'll just remain the same


[Solo]
A  C#  D  B


(KEY CHANGE)
[Verse]
A#                      D
Sittin' here restin' my bones
         D#                        C#
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
A#                   D
Two thousand miles I roamed
        D#                C#
Just to make this dock my home


[Chorus]
    A#                         G
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
A#                     C#
Watchin' the tide roll away
A#                         G
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
        A#   C#
Wastin' time (precious time)
