As recorded by Jesse Welles & Joan Baez (The Fillmore San Francisco November 4, 2025) [Intro] C G Am F C G Em G7 [Verse 1]
        C            G/B             Am
Well it ain't no use sittin', wonder why, baby

F                    C   G
If you don't know by now

   C               G/B            Am
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby

D7                 G  G7
It don't matter anyhow

              C                C7
When your rooster craws at the break of the dawn

F                        D7
Look out your window and I'll be gone

C        G/B                  Am
Your the reason I'm travelin' on

          F            G      C     G  G7
But don't think twice, it's alright
[Verse 2]
C                    G                      Am
It ain't no use in a-turnin' on your light, baby

F                        G
The light I'll never know

       C                 G                      Am
And it ain't no use in a-turnin' on your light, baby

D                           G7
I'm on the dark side of the road

        C                                  C7
Still I wish there was somethin' you could do or say

   F                         D
To try and make me change my mind and stay

              C        G/B      C       G/B   Am
But you know, we never did much talkin' anyway

F           G             C     G  G7
Don't think twice, it's alright
[Verse 3]
   C                 G              Am
It ain't no use in a-callin' out my name, babe

F                        G7
Like you've never done before

         C              G           Am
It ain't no use in a-callin' out my name

D                       G G7
I can't hear you anymore

         C                            C7
Im a-thinkin' and a-wonderin' all the way down the road

  F                          D7
I once loved a boy, he was a child I'm told

  C           G/B           C         Am
I give him my heart, but he wanted my soul

F           G             C
Don't think twice, it's alright
[Harmonica Solo] C G/B Am F C G C G/B Am D7 G7 C C7 F D7 C G/B Am F G C [Verse 4]
                G/B           Am
Going down that long lonesome road, babe

          F              C    G
Where I'm bound, I can't tell

    C        G/B     Am
But goodbyes do good work, babe

D                   G7
I just say, "fairly well"

  C                          C7
I ain't a-sayin' you treated me unkind

    F                         D
You could've done better, but I don't mind

C                G/B                Am
You just kind of wasted my precious time

      G                C
Don't think twice, it's alright

C
Yeah, don't think twice, it's alright

F                  C
Don't think twice, it's alright
