[Verse 1]
F A
Sittin' in the mornin sun
Bb A G
I'll be sittin when the evenin' comes

Watchin the ships roll in
Bb A G
Then I watch 'em roll away again
[Chorus]

I'm sittin on the dock of the bay

Watchin the time roll away
F G
sittin on the dock of the bay
F D
Wastin' time
[Verse 2]

I left my home in Georgia
Bb A G
Headed for the Frisco Bay

I had nothin to live for
Bb A G
looks like nothin's gonna come my way

Watchin the time roll away

sittin on the dock of the bay

Everything still remains the same
F C Bb F
I can't do what ten people tell me to do

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

Ten thousand miles I roam
Bb A G
Just to make this bay my home

It's a shame, it's a cryin shame

I have to sit here on the dock of the bay

Hoping and praying that my troubles

will leave me alone, leave me alone now
D
Troubles, why won't you leave me
