Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin when the evenin'come

Watching the ships roll in Then I'll watch 'em roll away

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

G B7 * C A
I left my home in Georgia Headed for the 'Frisco Bay

I have nothing to live for Look like nothin's gona come my way

[Chorus]

G D C G
Look like, nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
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 B7 * C A
Sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave
me alone
It's two thousand miles I roam Just to make this dock my home
[Chorus]
C Em Am F C G
Wise men say, only fools rush in
F G Am F * C G C
But I can't help falling in love with you

C Em Am F C G
Shall I stay, would it be a sin?
F G Am F * C G C
If I can't help falling in love with you

[Chorus]

Em B7 Em B7
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Em B7
Darling so it goes
Em A7 Dm G
Some things are meant to be

[Verse 2]

C Em Am F C G
Take my hand, take my whole life too
F G Am F C G C
For I can't help falling in love with you
Em Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D7 G
singing my life with his words
Em A/C#
killing me softly with his song
D C
killing me softly with his song
G C
telling my whole life with his words.
Fmaj7
Killing me softly
E
with his song.

[Verse]

Am7 D
I heard he sang a good song
G C
I heard he had a style
Am7 D
and so I came to see him
Em
to listen for a while.
Am7 D7
And there he was this young boy
G B7
a stranger to my eyes.
[Chorus]
Am7 D
I felt all flushed with fever
Gmaj7 C
embarrassed by the crowd.
Am7 D
I felt he found my letters
Em
and read each one out loud.
Am7 D7
I prayed that he would finish
Gmaj7 B7
but he just kept right on.

[Chorus]

Am7 D
He sang as if he knew me
Gmaj7 C
in all my dark despair.
Am7 D
And then he looked right through me
Em
as if I wasn't there.
Am7 D7
And he just kept on singing
Gmaj7 B7
singing clear and strong.
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds

He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

If I told her that I loved you

You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
But those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost

That's not the shape of my heart

That's not the shape
The shape of my heart
C Am F G C

When the night has come

And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
