Ain’t  no sunshine when she’s  gone

Ain’t no  sun shine  when  she’s  gone

Anytime she goes a way

Wonder this time where she’s gone
Wonder if she’s gone to stay
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain’t no home
Anytime she goes away

And  I  know,  I know, I know,
Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone 
Am Em  G  Am 
But ain’t no sunshine when she’s  gone

Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
Only darkness every day
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain’t no home
Anytime she goes away × 4
