Ain’t no sun shine when she’s gone.
It’s not warm when she’s a way.
Ain’t no sun shine when she’s gone,
but she’s al ways gone too long,
ev ’ry time she goes a way.
Won der this time where she’s 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 home
an y time she goes a way.
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, yeah.
I got ta leave the that girl a lone, ’cause ain’t no sun shine when she’s gone;
on ly dark ness ev ’ry day.
Ain’t no sun shine when she’s gone,
and this house just ain’t no home
an y time she goes a way.
Won der this time where she’s gone.
It’s not warm when she’s a way.
Ain’t no sun shine when she’s (Bm7)gone,
and she’s al ways gone too (Am7)long
an y time she goes a way.
An y time she goes a way.
An y time she goes a way.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Ain't No Sunshine" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature E, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 66 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
