Am                  Em7 G Am
 
[Verse]
(nothing)             Am          Em7 G Am*
Ain' no sunshine when she's gone
         *                      Em7 G Am*
It's not warm when she's away
        *                   Em
Ain' no sunshine when she's gone
                        Dm
And she always gone too long
                 Am      Em7 G Am*
Anytime she goes away
 
[Verse]
(nothing)              Am          Em7 G Am*
Wonder this time where she's gone
          *                    Em7 G Am*
Wonder if she's gone to stay
        *                   Em
Ain' no sunshine when she's gone
                            Dm
and this house just ain' no home
                 Am      *
Anytime she goes away

Hey, I oughta leave the young thing alone

But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
 
[Verse]
(nothing)                 Am       Em7 G Am*
Ain' no sunshine when she's gone
      *            Am      Em7 G Am*
Only darkness everyday
        *                   Em
Ain' no sunshine when she's gone
                            Dm
And this house just ain' no home
                 Am     Em7 G Am*
Anytime she goes away
 
[Outro]
    *                   Em7 G Am*
Anytime she goes away (x3)
