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

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

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

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,
Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
                                 Am      Em-G-Am
      But ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
Am                     Am      Em-G-Am
   only darkness everyday.
                             Em                                 Dm
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, and this house just ain't no home
                 Am      Em-G-Am
Anytime she goes away.
                 Am      Em-G-Am
Anytime she goes away.
