Okay, any tabs appreicated. If not - I'll just have to whistle.
Ok, here's the lyrics, chords and a little bit of tab. I've only tab'ed the
main riff used in the chorus. On the record Steve Cropper plays some very
neat doublestops during most of the song (Texts of songs ) -- a real masterpiece in soul
rhythm guitar.
(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay
================================
Otis Redding & Steve Cropper
Verse 1:
G B
Sittin' in the mornin' sun,
C B Bb A
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes.
G B
Watching the ships roll in,
C B Bb A
then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah.
Chorus:
G E
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay,
G E
watching the tide roll away.
G A
Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
G E
wastin' time.
Verse 2:
I left my home in Georgia,
headed for the 'Frisco Bay.
I have nothing to live for,
it look like nothin's gonna come my way.
Chorus:
So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay,
watching the tide roll away.
Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
wastin' time.
Bridge:
G D C
Look like nothing's gonna change.
G D C
Ev'rything still remains the same.
G D C G
I can't do what ten people tell me to do,
F D
so I guess I'll remain the same, yes.
Verse 3:
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones,
and this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes.
Two thousand miles I roamed
just to make this-a dock my home.
Chorus:
Now, I'm just gon' sit at the dock of the bay,
watching the tide roll away.
Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
wastin' time.
