Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay
by
Glen Campbell
Glen Campbell did a cover of this song, which was originally done by Otis Redding.
It's almost exactly the same, but I like his version better, so I felt like I
should tab it.
For the verse, play:
|-3---2---0--------0----|
|-3---0---1--------2----|
|-0---2---0--------0----|
|-0---1---2--------2----|
|-2---2---3--3-2-1-0----|
|-3---------------------|
For the chorus, play:
|-3---0---3---0---3---0---3---0---|
|-3---0---3---0---3---2---3---0---|
|-0---1---0---1---0---2---0---1---|
|-0---2---0---2---0---2---0---2---|
|-2---2---2---2---2---0---2---2---|
|-3---0---3---0---3-------3---0---|
For the bridge, play:
|-3--2--0---3--2--0---3--2--0---1---2----|
|-3--3--1---3--3--1---3--3--1---1---3----|
|-0--2--0---0--2--0---0--2--0---2---2----|
|-0--0--2---0--0--2---0--0--2---3---0----|
|-2-----3---2-----3---2-----3---3--------|
|-3---------3---------3---------1--------|
And after the third chorus, just strum a G and an E.
Verse 1
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
Chorus 1
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Verse 2
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I have nothing to live for
Looks like nothing's gonna come my way, yeah
Chorus 2
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Bridge
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So, I guess I'll remain the same
Verse 3
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
For two thousand miles I've roamed
Just to call this dock my home
Chorus 3
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
And that's it.
