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.
