E B C#m
Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
A E B
If you don't know by now
E B C#m
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
F#7/A# B
It'll never do somehow
E E7
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
A F#7/A#
Look out your window and I'll be gone
E B C#m A
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
E B E
But don't think twice, it's all right
E B C#m
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
A E B
The light I never knowed
E B C#m
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
F#7/A# B
I'm on the dark side of the road
E E7
But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
A F#7/A#
To try and make me change my mind and stay
E B C#m A
We never did too much talkin' anyway
E B E
But don't think twice, it's all right
E B C#m
So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
A E B
Like you never done before
E B C#m
An' it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
F#7/A# B
I can't hear you any more
E E7
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin' walkin' down the road
A F#7/A#
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
E B C#m A
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
E B E
But don't think twice, it's all right
E B C#m
So long honey-babe
A E B
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
E B C#m
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
F#7/A# B
So I just say fare thee well
E E7
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
A F#7/A#
You could have done better but I don't mind
E B C#m A
You just kinda wasted my precious time
E B E
But don't think twice, it's all right
