Headed for the Fris-co  Bay
       G                            B7
Cuz I’ve had nothing to live for
                     C                             B  Bb  A
And look like nothing’s gonna come my way

                           G                               E7
So, I’m just gon’ sit on the dock of the bay

Bridge
G        D    C
Looks like nothing’s gonna change
G        D      C
Every-thing still remains the same
G        D           C
I can’t do what ten people tell me to do
F                         D
So I guess I’ll re-main the same, listen
G                                 B7
Sittin’ here resting my bones
              C                                  B  Bb   A
And this loneliness won’t leave me a  - lone,
 listen
G                                B7
Two thousand miles I roam
            C              B     Bb  A
Just to make this dock my home, now

                          G                            E7
I’m just gon’ sit at the dock of a bay
                     G             E7
Watchin’ the tide roll a-way, ooh
G                                     A
