Cavaquinho chords (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay
(Sittin On) The Dock of the Bay was written by Otis Redding and guitarist Steve Cropper. The song was inspired while Redding was sitting on a rented houseboat in Sausalito, California, in August 1967, reflecting on his life on the road. It became a poignant reflection of his life, as Redding died in a plane crash in December 1967, making this song one of his final recordings. It was released posthumously in January 1968.
