...AINT NO SUNSHINE... by Bill Withers
----------------------................
 
*from 'Just As I Am' (1971)*
 
 
Intro:
 
Am  Em  G (x2)
 
Verse 1:
 
(n.C)                         Am   Em  G
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
Am        Em   G            Am  Em  G
 It's not warm when she's a-way.
Am        Em       G          Em7
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
          Ebm7            Dm7                      Am  Em  G, Am
And she's always gone too long, anytime she goes a-way.
 
Verse 2:
 
Am      Em        G           Am   Em  G
 Wonder this time where she's gone,
Am      Em       G       Am   Em   G
 Wonder if she's gone to stay.
Am        Em       G          Em7
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
                    Ebm7     Dm7                      Am  Em  G, Am
And this house just ain't no home, anytime she goes a-way.
 
Break:
 
Am (n.C)
 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 know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know...
 
(n.C)
 Hey, I oughta leave young thing alone,
                                 Am   Em  G
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
 
Verse 3:
 
Am    Em       G     Am  Em  G
 Only darkness every-day.
Am        Em       G          Em7
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
                    Ebm7     Dm7                      Am  Em  G, Am
And this house just ain't no home, anytime she goes a-way.
 
Coda:
 
Am   Em    G          Am  Em  G
 Any-time, she goes a-way,
Am   Em    G          Am  Em  G
 Any-time, she goes a-way,
Am   Em    G          Am  Em  G, Am
 Any-time, she goes a-way.

it does return to the Am, yes...it kind of does in my tab in that the last Am of the sequence you mean is also the first Am of the next sequence, so the chord just comes over the word he actually changes on. To show my tab does, in fact go; Am, Em G, Am see this line: Am Em G, Am Anytime she goes a-way.

you can try to play a C between the first Am

thanks for this, much appreciated :0
