Lyrics

Ain’t no sun shine when she’s (Am7)gone.

It’s not warm when she’s a way.

Ain’t no sun shine when she’s gone,

and she’s al ways gone too (Dm7)long an y time she goes a (Am7)way.

Won der this time where she’s (Am)gone,

won der if she’s gone to stay.

Ain’t no sun shine when she’s gone,

and this house just ain’t no (Dm7)home an y time she goes a (Am)way.

And I know, I know, I know, I know, (CN.C.)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, hey, I ought to leave the young thing a lone, but ain’t no sun shine when she’s (Am7)gone.

Ain’t no sun shine when she’s An y time she goes a way.

An y time she goes a way.
