Bill Withers (born July 4, 1938 in Slab Fork, West Virginia, died March 30, 2020 in Los Angeles, California) was an American singer-songwriter who performed and recorded from the late 1960s until the mid 1980s.
Bill's father died when he was thirteen. He joined the US Navy at seventeen, and stayed there for nine years, before he moved to Los Angeles in 1967. While in Los Angeles, he worked full-time in a Lockheed assembly plant in the day, recording demo tapes and performing in juke joints during the night.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
-The other tab on here has mostly the right chords, but it's a little hard to decipher. here is a (hopefully) easier to read version. The whole song really depends on the chord progression at the end of every line, so focus on that. Play the Am gently during verse. Oh,and the Dm chord sounds correct, but a barred F works well too and sounds a bit So choose whichever sounds better to you. :) tabbed by:Martin Mokran
AmAmEm-G-Am Ain't no sunshine when she's gone. AmAmEm-G-Am It's not warm when she's away. EmDm
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, and she's always gone too long, AmEm-G-Am Anytime she goes away.
AmAmEm-G-Am Wonder this time where she's gone, AmAmEm-G-Am Wonder if she's gone to stay EmDm Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, and this house just ain't no home, AmEm-G-Am Anytime she goes away.
(Am gently, fade it completely, then bring it back gently) And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone, AmEm-G-Am But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, AmAmEm-G-Am only darkness everyday. EmDm Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, and this house just ain't no home AmEm-G-Am Anytime she goes away. AmEm-G-Am Anytime she goes away. AmEm-G-Am Anytime she goes away. AmEm-G-Am Anytime she goes away. AmEm-G-Am Anytime she goes away.
THE END
*the Am kinda plays all the time, like after the "Em-G-Am"s just keep strumming the Am Easy song once you feel the groove of it. Questions/corrections?: [email protected]
