       C C7 F D7 C G Am F C G C  G 

   C               G              Am 
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe 
F                   C  G 
It don't matter, anyhow 
       C               G              Am 
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe 
D7                   G  G7 
If you don't know by now 
          C                    C7 
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn 
F                        D7 
Look out your window and I'll be gone 
C          G          Am        F 
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on 
C           G               C   G 
Don't think twice, it's all right 

   C               G               Am 
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe 
F                  C     G 
That light I never knowed 
       C               G               Am 
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe 
D7                          G   G7 
I'm on the dark side of the road 
        C                                  C7 
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say 
F                            D7 
To try and make me change my mind and stay 
C        G            Am         F 
We never did too much talkin' anyway 
C              G               C    G 
So don't think twice, it's all right 

   C               G              Am 
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal 
F                    C   G 
Like you never did before 
   C               G              Am 
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal 
D7                   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 
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told 
C             G             Am        F 
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul 
C               G               C   G 
But don't think twice, it's all right 

    C                 G              Am 
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe 
          F              C   G 
Where I'm bound, I can't tell 
    C         G          Am 
But goodbye's too good a word, gal 
D7                         G  G7 
So I'll just say fare thee well 
        C                  C7 
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind 
    F                      D7 
You could have done better but I don't mind 
C        G            Am          F 
You just kinda wasted my precious time 
C               G               C 
But don't think twice, it's all right
