*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, 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.
