[Verse 1]
             
Sitting in the

         
 morning sun
             
I'll be sittin

              
g when the eve

     
ning comes
             
Watching the s

          
hips roll in
             
Then I'll be w

              
atching them r

         
oll away again


[Chorus 1]
             
Sitting on the

             
 dock of the b

ay
             
Watching the t

          
ide roll away
             
Sitting at the

             
 dock of the b

ay
           
Wasting time


[Verse 2]
             
I left my home

    
 in Georgia
             
Headed for the

        
 Frisco Bay
             
I had nothing 

   
to live for
             
Looks like not

              
hing gonna com

     
e my way


[Chorus 2]
             
So, I'm just s

              
itting on the 

            
dock of the ba

y
             
Watching the t

          
ide roll away
             
Sitting at the

             
 dock of the b

ay
           
Wasting time


[Bridge]
            
  Looks like n

 
othing's gonna

 change
            
  Everything s

he same
            
  I can't do w

              
hat ten people

So I guess I'l

ame, sing it


[Verse 3]
             
Sitting here r

And the loneli

Two thousand m

       
iles I roam
             
Just to make t

[Chorus 3]
             
Now I'm just s

Watching the t

Sitting at the
