Am                                Em  G  Am
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
                              Em  G  Am
It's not warm when she's away.

                              Em
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
                          Dm     Ams
and she's always gone too long,
                      Em  G  Am
anytime she goes away.

                                  Em  G  Am
Wonder this time where she's gone
                             Em  G  Am
Wonder if she's gone to stay.
 
                              Em
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
                             Dm     Am
and this house just ain't no home,
                      Em  G  Am
anytime she goes away.

Am
And I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I oughta leave young thing alone. (bis)

                                  Em  G  Am
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
                                  Em  G  Am
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
                       Em  G  Am
only darkness everyday.
                             Em
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
                             Dm    Am
and this house just ain't no home,
                      Em  G  Am
anytime she goes away.
                      Em  G  Am
anytime she goes away
                      Em  G  Am
anytime she goes away.
