Verse 1

C G Am

It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe

F C

It don’t matter anyhow

C G Am

And it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe

D G

If you don’t know by now

C C

When the rooster crows at the break of dawn

F C

Look out your window and I’ll be gone

C G Am F

You’re the reason I’m travelin’ on

C G C

Don’t think twice, it’s all right

Verse 2

C G Am

It ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe

F C

The light I never knowed

C G Am

And it ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe

D G

I’m on the dark side of the road

C

Still I wish there was somethin’

F C

You would do or say

C G Am F

To try and make me change my mind and stay

C G C

Don’t think twice, it’s all right

Verse 3

C G Am

I’m walkin’ down that long, lonesome road, babe

F C

Where I’m bound, I can’t tell

C G Am

But goodbye’s too good a word, gal

D G

So I’ll just say fare thee well

C C

I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unkind

F C

You could have done better but I don’t mind

C G Am F

You just kinda wasted my precious time

C G C

Don’t think twice, it’s all right

Verse 4

C G Am

It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal

F C

Like you never done before

C G Am

It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal

D G

I can’t hear you anymore

C

I’m a-thinkin’ and a-wonderin’ all the

F C

Way down the road

C G Am F

I once loved a woman, a child I’m told

C G C

I give her my heart but she wanted my soul

C G C

Don’t think twice, it’s all right

Practice tip: Master the C to G to Am transition first — it’s the backbone of the song. The F chord can be played as a mini-barre on the first two frets if the full barre is too hard.
