Aint No Sunshine

	  		  

 




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, any time 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, any time 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, any time she goes a-way.
