Dock of the Bay
===============
Otis Redding
key of G
intro G
G B
verse1 Sittin' in the morning sun
C A
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
G B
Watching the ships roll in
C A
Then I watch 'em roll away again
G Em
chorus I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
G Em
Watching the tide roll a-way
G A
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
G Em
Wastin' time---------------
verse2 I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Coz I had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way, so I'm
chorus
G D C
bridge Looks like nothing's gonna change
G D C
Everything still remains the same (this line is wrong)
G D C
I can't do what them people tell me to do
F D
So I guess I'll remain the same
verse3 Sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
This two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
chorus
outro G Em
Please excuse the bridge. I don't sing this and I know the words are wrong.

The line that you think is wrong is right. Good Job on the tab.
Great job! This is a fav of mine and you tabbed it perfect! Thanks for the help. Only if other tab-ers could do it this good.
You did a good job with one exception.... in the chorus, everywhere you put Em, it's supposed to be E (major). Just thought I'd let you know.
instead of the C trysliding from the G chord to a B 7thfret, slide to a B# then slide back down from B# to B, A#,A. See how that sounds
I beleive the line goes
I can't do what TEN people tell me to do
Excellent Tab..keep up the good work..
Wybrew, right on with the lyrics,Abluesman, good job on the fill in About the E minor chording,Soopermick what on earth is a B#?B/C ause they ain't so such note.
