Intro: E B C#m A E B E

 E               B              C#m
Ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
E             E       B
It don't matter anyhow.
                 E             C#m
Ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
F# F#7                B B7
If you don't know by now.
           E                  E7
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn,
A                 F#                  F#7
Look out your window, baby, I'll be gone.
E            B        C#m            A
You're the reason I'll be traveling on.
E          B                 E
Don't think twice, it's all right.

Intro solo

   E             B               C#m
Ain't no use in turning on your light, babe,
E                   B
The light I never knowed.
                      E           C#m
Ain't no use in turning on your light, babe,
F#  F#7                        B  B7
I'm on the dark side of the road.
          E                            E7
Still I wish there was something you would do or say,
A                            F#           F#7
Trying to make me make my mind up and stay.
E              C#m      B       A
We never did too much talking anyway.
E            B                E
Don't think twice, it's all right.

Intro solo

E                 B             C#m
Ain't no use in calling out my name, babe,
A                  E       B
Like you never did before.
          E                      C#m
Ain't no use in calling out my name, babe,
F#        F#7             B     B7
Lord, I can't hear you anymore.
E                                       E7
I'm thinking and wondering all the way down the road.
A                        F#         F#7
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told.
E             B         C#m            A
Gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul.
E           B                 E
Don't think twice, it's all right.

Intro solo

E             B          C#m
Walking down that long lonesome road, babe,
A                        E     B
Where I'm bound, I can't tell.
            E         C#m
Goodbye is too good a word, yeah,
F#        F#7                B   B7
So I'll just say fare thee well.
          E                  E7
I ain't saying you treated me unkind.
A                    F#                      F#7
You could've done better, baby, but I don't mind.
E                   B         C#m     A
You just kind of wasted my precious time.
E                     B                                     E
Lord, but don't think twice, don't think twice, it's all right
