           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

verse2     I left my home in Georgia

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
