[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]
        G                      B
        I left my home in Georgia,
        C                   B Bb A
        headed for the 'Frisco Bay.
        G                      B
        I have nothing to live for,
        C                   B Bb A
        it look like nothin's gonna come my way.
 
[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.
 
[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]
        G                      B
        I'm sittin' here restin' my bones,
        C                   B Bb A
        and this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes.
        G                    B
        Two thousand miles I roamed
        C                      B Bb A
        just to make this-a dock my home..
 
[Chorus]
                           G                      E
        Now I'm just gonna sit 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.

Last verse needs tweaked, the chords are in the wrong order. Everything else looks pretty good
