(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay

Otis Redding, Steve Cropper, Otis Redding & Steve Cropper

[Intro]
Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa
Fa-fafafafa-fafafa

[Verse 1]
Sittin' in the morning sun, I'll be sittin' when the evening come
Watchin' the ships roll in, then I'll watch 'em roll away again

[Chorus]
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tides roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

[Verse 2]
I left my home in Georgia, headed for the Frisco bay
I had nothin' to love for, nothin's gonna come my way

[Chorus]
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tides roll away
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

[Bridge]
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
Guess I got to remain the same

[Verse 3]
Sittin' in the morning sun, I'll be sittin' when the evening come
Ten thousand miles I roamed, I got to make this dock my home
Lord, have mercy!

[Chorus]
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tides a-just roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, oh Lordie
Oh somebody, somebody help me right here

[Vamp]
Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa, somebody come on home
I just need you here, I gotta have you there
I just need you in my lovin' arms
I got-got-got-got-got, I gotta have your love
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa) All your love in the mornin'
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa) The only man, gagagagagagagagagagagaga
I can't turn you loose, baby, holdin' you tighter
Girl, say you've been- oh, I'm just hoping
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa) That everything got to get better
Ships going in and out (Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa)
And I'm right here, sittin' on the dock
I'm just sittin' on the dock, sittin' here, baby
Somebody help me, Lord, ah...

[Bridge]
Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa
Fa-fafafafa-fafafa
Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa
Fa-fafafafa-fafafa

[Vamp]
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa) Sittin' on the dock, sittin' here, baby
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafa) Somebody help me, Lord, ah...
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa) Sittin' on the dock, girl, gotta have your lovin'
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafa) Girl, don't you know?
Girl, don't you, got to-got-got
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa)
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafa) Ooh Lord, help me now
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa) Help me now, help me now
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafa) I'm gonna sing this song for you, baby

[Outro]
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa) Sittin' in the morning sun
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafa) Ooh... y'all, y'all don't know (okay!)
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa) Slow path from Georgia, 10,000 miles (ooh!)
(Fa-fafafafa-fafafa) Got to go home one day (thank you very much!)
