Dock Of The Bay Acoustic Chords

   
My first tab, hope its alright! This is how I play it on my acoustic, and I think it
sounds great.  Sometimes I use a Capo 1 for fun but its not needed. It's a great song, enjoy!

         G                                   Em
   I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

        G                         Em
   watching the tide roll away

           G                                         A
   Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

               G         E
   wasting time


   BRIDGE:
   -
   G                      D                        C
     Looks like nothing's gonna change

   G                         D                     C
     Everything 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


   VERSE 3:
         G                           B7
   Sittin' here resting my bones
           C                                     C Bb A
   and this loneliness won't leave me alone
        G                            B7
   These 2000 miles I roamed
         C                         C Bb A
   just to make this dock my home


   CHORUS:
       G                                   Em
   I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

        G                         Em
   watching the tide roll away

           G                                         A
   Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

               G         E
   wasting time
