Chords for Bill Withers - Aint no sunshine - Guitar lesson by Joe Murphy

[N] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Am] Ain't _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ no sunshine when she's _ gone _ _ [G]
It's _ [Am] _ _ not warm when _ she's away _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ Ain't no sunshine when she's [Em] gone _ She's _ always [D] gone too long _
Anytime _ she [Am] goes away _ _ _ I [G] _ _ [A] _
wonder this time [Am] where she's gone
_ [G] I _ _ _
[Am] _ wonder if she's gone to _ stay _ _ _ _
_ _ Ain't no sunshine [A] when she's [Em] gone And this house just [Am] ain't no home
_ Anytime _ [G] she goes [Am] away
_ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Ain't [D] no sunshine _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
when she's gone
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ Ain't _ _ [Em] _ _
[Eb] no _ [B] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ sunshine [C] _ [Em] when [Am] she's gone
_ _ So on the gone you play [F] your A minor
[Am] _ Then we [E] play E minor G, [Em] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Am] A minor
Ok so that's [G] 1, 2, [E] 3
So it's the [F] timing I'm trying to get across to you here
Because that's the only [Em] unusual thing about it
So we [A] have
Ain't no sunshine [Am] when she's gone A minor
_ E minor G, A minor
It's not warm when she's away
_ _ _ [Em] E minor G, [Am] A minor
So effectively _ to help you with the timing we've got the A minor _
_ Then 1, [G] 2, _ [Am]
3
[F] So if you count 1, 2, [Am] 3 when you get to the E minor
So the E minor being the [Em] 1 _ _
The G [C] being the 2
[G] _ _ _
_ _ And the A minor being the [Am] 3 _
_ _ It's not [E] warm when she's [Am] away
_ E [E] minor 1, [G] G 2, _ [Am] A minor 3
Alright, so [Gb] that's the first half of the verse
[Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ And you'll notice when I play the G I'm [G] not adding this pinky
Because I'm only [E] playing the bass [G] notes
_ _ If I was [Em] playing all of them [G] _
I'd add that pinky but I'm not
So we've [Am] got
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
So it does that twice
And then it goes
_ _ _ You've got
Ain't no [B] sunshine _ when [Am] she's gone _ _
[Em] It's [G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
not warm when [E] _ [Am] she's away
_ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _
There ain't no sunshine when she's [Em] gone E minor
This house just ain't no D minor
_ [D] Home _ anytime _ [G] she goes away
[Am] _ _ [Em] And _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ _ that [Eb] is all there is to it
It's a very, [B] very simple song
And when he goes into the section
And [A] I know, I know, I know
_ I don't play anything [F] on the guitar
I just kind of sing that [E] section and then come back in on the
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
Okay, so let me just play that through to you once
_ _ _ [A] And see if you can see where those chords are
Okay, I'll put [G] them up above [Gb] just in case you need them
[E] And it goes [Eb] like this
Ain't no sunshine [G] when [Am] she's gone _ _
[Em] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ It's not warm [C] when she's [Am] away _
_ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _
Ain't no sunshine when she's [Em] gone _
This house just ain't no
Home _ [Dm] anytime _ [G] she goes [Am]
away
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ I wonder [E] this time where [Am] she's gone
_ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _
_ [A] _ Yeah, so as you can [Gb] see it's a very [Gm] simple song
But I just thought it was a great one for you to kind of [A] fiddle about
And play and practice this [C] right hand
And just come up with some of your own [F] ideas
And also it's another one to [Eb] build up your repertoire
A very quick one to do that
So if you have any questions, pop [Gb] them down below
Thanks ever so much for [E] watching
And I look forward to seeing you soon _
