Sittin' in the mornin' sun

Watching the ships roll in

And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
G E
Wastin' time
VERSE 2
G B7
I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the 'Frisco Bay

'Cause I've had nothing to live for
C A
And look like nothin's gonna come my way

Just to make this dock my home
