[G] _
_ _ _ I [D] can't do what [C] the damn people [G] _ tell me to _ [F] do
So I guess I'll [D] remain the _ _ _ same
[G] _ Sitting _ here resting my [B] _ bones _ _
_ _ [C] And this loneliness won't leave me [A] _ _ alone _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ Two thousand miles [B] I rode _
_ _ _ Just [C] to make _ this dock my [A] _ home
_ _ Yes, _ [G] I'm sitting on the dock of [E] the bay
_ _ Watching [G] the time _ _ _ rolls _ [E]
away
_ _ _ _ _ [G] I'm sitting on the dock of the [A] _ bay _ _ _ [G] Wasting _ _ _ _ _ time
I'm _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ sitting _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ on the dock of the bay
Watching the time _ _ rolls away _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] I'm sitting _ _ _ _ _ _ _ on the dock _ of the bay
I'm _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the time rolls _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ away
[D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'm sitting on the dock of _ the _ _ _ _ _ _ bay
Watching the time rolls _ [F] away
[Gb] I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
I'm sitting _ [Eb] _ _ _ [N] _ _
on _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ the dock of _ _ _ the bay
Watching the time rolls away
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
_ Watching _ _ _ the time rolls away _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gbm] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm sitting _ on the dock of the bay
I'm sitting _ _
[B] _ _ on the dock of the bay
Watching the time rolls away
_ _ _ [Dbm]
[C] I'm sitting on the dock of the bay _ _ A _ _ _
_ [A] A _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] E _ _ _
_ _ We will _ [D]
also meet a D _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And a [F] F7
_ _ _ _ Actually, _ _ in the song it is predicted a F _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Which is played with the barre _
For those who can't play this chord with the barre
Can play _ the _ F7
_ _ It is played in a much simpler way
And among other things in the [B] song
This chord will take only the space of a bar _
_ _ Only in a section of the song
_ _ _ Two chords are played for each _ [F] bar
That is, in [G] the bridge _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] As you can see, the G and D
They take the space of a bar
So we will play no longer with the rhythm
Down, down, up, up, down, up
[G] But we will play _ down, _ down, up
Down for the G
[D] _
_ Down, _ down, up for the D
_ And on the C we will resume [C] the rhythm _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ Rhythmically the song is slightly more complex
Than _ I proposed
Because there are _
[C] anticipations of the chords _ _ _
Let's try instead to see how to play the [B] chromaticisms
That are felt in the original song
[G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ We take the G and play only the bass _
Third fret of the sixth string
[E] Immediately after we also play a downstroke
And a downstroke on the whole [G] chord
_ _ _ _ _ _ We _ _ _ _ _ still play the bass
Third fret of the sixth string
Then [A] the A, the only string empty
_ _ [Bb] The A sharp or B flat, first fret of the fifth string
And we close [B] on the B, second fret of the fifth string
_ And we organize to take also the B7 _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And we play the B7 _ continuing the rhythm
_ [G] We must avoid the first downstroke
Because we replaced it with the bass
And we continue with down, up, up, down, up _ _
_ I try to play everything _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
[Bb] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] We arrive [C] at the C
_ We play the bass
_ Third fret of the fifth string
_ _ _ _ _ Downstroke and upstroke
As we had already done in the G major
_ And again chromaticism _
_ _ _ Third fret of the fifth string, which is a C
[Bm] _ _ B, _ second fret of the fifth string
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ B flat, _ first fret of the fifth _ string
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
The fifth string empty
_ And we continue the rhythm as we did before _
Down, up, _ up, down, up
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
G _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ B _ _ _ _ _
_ C
[C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ A _
_ _ _ And [G] again _
If _ _ [Bb] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ we want we can also insert a chromaticism from G to E
That is, the second part of the verse _
[Eb] _ _ We can [G] play in the same way the G _
Then G, third fret of the sixth string
_ [Gb] _ _ F sharp, G flat, _ _ second fret of the sixth [Em] string
[F] _ F, _ first fret of the sixth string
[E] E, _ bass, _ _ sixth string empty
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [E] _ And we continue _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Sitting in the _ [B] morning _ sun
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Have a sit and we're _ leaving [A]
in calm _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ And that's _ all _ _ _ _ _
_ Thank [D] you for your attention
