Ive only tabbed the main riff used in the chorus.
No one could complain about the album then, and it still holds more than four decades later. Okay, heres the lyrics, chords and a little bit of tab. Cropper chose his tracks well, selecting some of the strongest and most unusual among the late singer's orphaned songs: "I Love You More Than Words Can Say" is one of Redding's most passionate performances "Let Me Come on Home" presents an ebullient Redding accompanied by some sharp playing, and "Don't Mess with Cupid" begins with a gorgeous guitar flourish and blooms into an intense, pounding, soaring showcase for singer and band alike. Despite the mix-and-match nature of the album, however, this is an impossible record not to love. There's little cohesion, stylistic or otherwise, in the songs, especially when the title track is taken into consideration - nothing else here resembles it, for the obvious reason that Redding never had a chance to follow it up. Dock of the Bay is, indeed, a mixed bag of singles and B-sides going back to July of 1965, one hit duet with Carla Thomas, and two, previously unissued tracks from 19. What could have been a cash-in effort or a grim memorial album instead became a vivid, exciting presentation of some key aspects of the talent that was lost when Redding died. It was released posthumously on Stax Records Volt label in 1968, becoming the first posthumous single to top the charts in the US. It was first recorded by Otis Redding in 1967, just days before his death. Producer/guitarist Steve Cropper had a difficult task to perform in pulling together this album, the first of several posthumous releases issued by Stax/Volt in the wake of Redding's death.

It was never supposed to be like this: "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" was supposed to mark the beginning of a new phase in Otis Redding's career, not an ending. Otis Redding originally recorded (Sittin On) The Dock of the Bay written by Steve Cropper and Otis Redding and Otis Redding released it on the single (Sittin On) The Dock of the Bay in 1968.
