ACORDES Y LETRAS

(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay

[G]Sitting in the morning [B7]sun;

I'll be [C]sitting when the evening [A]comes.

[G]Watching the ships roll [B7]in

And I [C]watch 'em roll away a[A]gain, yeah.

 

 [G]Sitting on the dock of the [E]bay

Watching the [G]tide roll aw[E]ay.

I'm just [G]sitting on the dock of the [A]bay

Wasting [G]time.    [E]

 

I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the 'Frisco bay

'Cause I had nothing to live for

And look like nothing's gonna come my way

 

So I'm just...

{c:repeat chorus}

 

[G]Look [D7]like nothing's gonna change [G]

E[D7]verything [C]still remains the same [G]

I [D7]can't do what people tell [G]me to do.  [F]

So I guess I'll remain[D] the same.

 

Sittin here resting my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's two thousand miles I roamed

Just to make this dock my home

 

Now, I'm just...

{c:repeat chorus}

(Sentado en) El muelle de la bahía
Sentado en una mañana soleada
Seguiré sentado cuando llegue la tarde.
Mirando a los barcos entrar
Mirándoles alejarse otra vez, sí.

Sentado sobre el muelle de la bahía
Mirando la marea alejarse.
Yo solo estoy sentado sobre el muelle de la bahía
Perdiendo el tiempo.

Me marché de mi casa en Georgia
Me dirigí a la bahía de Frisco
Porque no tenía nada para vivir
y parecía que nada iba a venir a mi encuentro

Entonces solo estoy
Sentado sobre el muelle de la bahía
Mirando la marea alejarse.
Yo solo estoy sentado sobre el muelle de la bahía
Perdiendo el tiempo.

Parece que nada va a cambiar
Todo todavía me recuerda lo mismo
Yo no puedo hacer lo que la gente me dice que haga
Entonces adivino que voy a repetir lo mismo.

Sentado aquí descansando mis huesos
y esta soledad no me dejará solo
Son dos mil millas por las que vagué
Solo para hacer de este muelle mi casa
Ahora, solo estoy
Sentado sobre el muelle de la bahía
Mirando la marea alejarse.
Yo solo estoy sentado sobre el muelle de la bahía
Perdiendo el tiempo.
