Dock Of The Bay  
                                                               
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                         

    G                          E                               
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay                      
             G          E                                      
Watching the tide roll away
         G                          A  
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay                       
        G     E
Wastin' time                                                   

  G               B                                            
I left my home in Georgia
C               B   Bb A                                       
Headed for the 'Frisco bay 
       G                        B                              
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
               C              B    Bb A                        
And looks like nothin's gonna come my way
                                                              
                  G                      A
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
             G         E                                      
Watching the tide roll away   oooh
    G                          A                               
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay                     
        G    E                                                 
Wastin' time
                                                              
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, listen                        

G                       B
Sittin' here resting my bones
         C                B     Bb  A
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
     G                    B
It's two thousand miles I roamed
        C         B    Bb A
Just to make this dock my home

                   G                      E
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
             G          E
Watching the tide roll away   oooh
G                          A
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
        G     E
Wastin' time        (whistle to fade out)

    I am assuming by C, you meant C on the third fret with a B major shape. This is the easiest way to play this piece so if you can clarify that for the user it would be great. Good job and Otis Redding is a prodigy.
