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

Wastin' time
[Verse 2]

I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the 'Frisco Bay

'Cause I've had nothing to live for

And look like nothin's gonna come my way

G B7
Sittin' here resting my bones
C A
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
G B7
It's two thousand miles I roamed
C A
Just to make this dock my home
[Chorus]

Now I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
G E
Watching the tide roll away

Wastin' time
