Lyrics

(G)Sit tin’ in the morn ing sun,

I’ll be (C)sit tin’ when the eve ning comes.

(G)Watch ing the ships come in,

and I’ll (C)watch them roll a way a gain.

(G)Sit tin’ on the dock of the bay,

watch ing the tide

roll a way.

I’m just (G)sit tin’ on the dock of the bay,

wast ing time.

Looks (D)like noth (C)ing’s gon na change,

ev ’ry thing (C)still re mains the same.

I (D)can’t do what (C)ten peo ple tell (G)me to do,

so I guess I’ll re main the same.
