(Originally by Bill Withers)


*CAPO 3rd FRET*

(Original Key: Fm)


Intro:

(Spoken):

Dm                       Am7
 You ever want something that you know you shouldn't have?
Dm
 The more you know you shouldn't have it; the more you want it.
                     Am7     Dm
And then one day you get it; it's so good to you.

Dm
 But it's just like my girl;
Am7                    Dm
 When she's around me, I just feel so good, so good.
                          Am7
But right now I just feel cold, so cold,
                 Dm         (n.C)
Right down to my bones. 'Cos ooh...

Verse 1:

(n.C)                         Dm   Am  C
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
Dm        Am   C            Dm  Am  C
 It's not warm when she's a-way.
Dm        Am       C          Am7
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
                          Gm                       Dm   Am  C, Dm (n.C)
And she's always gone too long, anytime she goes a-way.

Verse 2:

C                             Dm   Am  C
 Wonder this time where she's gone,
Dm      Am       C       Dm    Am  C
 Wonder if she's gone to stay?
Dm        Am       C          Am7
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
                             Gm                       Dm  Am  C, Dm (n.C)
And this house just ain't no home, anytime she goes a-way.

Break:

Dm (n.C)
 I know, I know, I know, I know,
Gm (n.C)                         Dm (n.C)
 I know, know, know, know, know, I know, I know.
                Gm                            A7
Hey, I ought to leave, I ought to leave her a-lone;
                             Dm   Am  C
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.

Verse 3:

Dm        Am       C          Dm   Am  C
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
Dm    Am       C     Dm  Am  C
 Only darkness every day.
Dm        Am       C          Am7
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
                             Gm                       Dm  Am  C, Dm (n.C)
And this house just ain't no home, anytime she goes a-way.
