Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright (Album Version)
By Bob Dylan
This song is played in clawhammer picking style
fast. The picking patterns are up to you
I’ve seen some un capo’d versions, but this
is the correct album version. Enjoy
Capo 4
C G Am F
It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
C G
It don’t matter, anyhow
C G Am D7
An’ it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
G
If you don’t know by now
C C7
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
F D7
Look out your window and I’ll be gone
C G Am F
You’re the reason I’m trav’lin’ on
C G C
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
C G Am F
It ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light,babe
C G
That light I never knowed
C G Am D7
An’ it ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light,babe
G
I’m on the dark side of the road
C C7
Still I wish there was somethin’ you would do or say
F D7
To try and make me change my mind and stay
C G Am F
We never did too much talkin’ anyway
C G C
Don’t think twice,it’s all right
C G Am F
It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name,babe
C G
Like you never did before
C G Am D7
And It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name,babe
G
I can’t hear you anymore
C C7
I’m a-thinkin’ and a-wond’rin’ walkin’ all the way down the road
F D7
I once loved aw woman,a child I’m told
C G Am F
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
C G C
Don’t think twice,it’s all right
C G Am
So Loooooong, honey babe
F C G
Where I’m bound,I can’t tell
C G Am D7
But goodbye’s too good a word,babe
G
So I’ll just say fare thee well
C C7
I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unkind
F D7
You could have done better but I don’t mind
C G Am F

C G C
But don’t think twice,it’s alllll right

Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
F C G
Iff'n you don't know by now
C G Am /g
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

It'll never do somehow
C C7
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn

Look out your window and I'll be gone
C G Am /g F
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on

Don't think twice, it's all right

An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right
So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
An' it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' walkin' down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
So long, honey babe *)
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
