Dock of the Bay

My first tab, hope its alright! This is how I play it on my acoustic, and I think it
sounds great. Sometimes I use a Capo 1 for fun but its not needed. It's a great song, enjoy!

VERSE 1:

Sittin' in the morning sun
C C Bb A
I'll be sittin' in the evening come

Watching the ships roll in,
C C Bb A
then I watch them roll away again...yea

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

watching the tide roll away

Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
G E
wasting time

Headed for the Frisco bay

'Cause I had nothing to live for

like nothings gonna come my way

G D C
Looks like nothing's gonna change

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

So I guess I'll remain the same
VERSE 3:

Sittin' here resting my bones

and this loneliness won't leave me alone

These 2000 miles I roamed
C C Bb A
just to make this dock my home

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

watching the tide roll away

wasting time
