C G7 Am Am Am7/G
It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
F C G7
If you don’t know by now
C G7 Am Am7/G
An’ it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
D7/F# G G7
It'd never do, somehow
C C7
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
F D7/F#
Look out your window and I’ll be gone
C/G G7 Am Am7/G F
You’re the reason I’m trav’l-in’ on
C/G G7 C
But don’t think twice, it’s all right
C G7 Am Am Am7/G
It ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe
F C G7
That light I never knowed
C G7 Am Am7/G
An’ it ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe
D7/F# G G7
I’m on the dark side of the road
C C7
Still I wi-sh there was somethin’ you would do or say
F D7/F#
To try and make me change my m-ind and stay
C/G G7 Am Am7/G F
We never did too much talkin’ a-nyway
C/G G7 C
But don’t think twice, it’s all right
C G7 Am Am Am7/G
It ain’t no use in callin’ out my n-ame, gal
F C G7
Like you never did before
C G7 Am
It ain’t no use in callin’ out my n-ame, gal
D7/F# G G7
I can’t hear you any-more
C C7
I’m a-thinkin’ and a-wond’rin’ all the way down the road
F D7/F#
I once loved a woman, a ch-ild I’m told
C/G G7 Am Am7/G F
I give her my heart but she wanted m-y soul
C/G G7 C
But don’t think twice, it’s all right
C G7 Am Am7/G
So lo-ng, honey, babe
F C G7
Where I’m bound, I can’t tell
C G7 Am Am7/G
But goodbye’s too good a wo-rd, babe
D7/F# G G7
So I’ll just say fare thee well
C C7
I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unkind
F D7/F#
You could have done better but I don’t mind
C/G G7 Am Am7/G F
You just kinda wasted m-y precious time
C/G G7 C
But don’t think twice, it’s all right
