| C | G | D | |
| It don't matter any | how |
| G | D | Em | |
| And it ain't no use to | sit and wonder | why, babe |

| When the rooster crows at the | break of dawn |
| C | A7 | |
| Look out your window and | I'll be gone |
| G | D | Em | C | |
| You're the | reason I'm | travellin' | on |
| G | D | G | D | |
| Don't think | twice, it's a | lright. |
| It ain't no use in turnin' on you light, babe |
| A light I never knowed |
| It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe |
| I'm on the dark side of the road |
| Still I wish there were something you would do or say |
| To try and make me change my mind and stay |
| We never did too much talkin' anyway |
| So don't think twice, it's alright. |
| I'm walkin' down that long lonesome road, 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'm not 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 alright. |
| It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal |
| Like you never done before |
| It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal |
| I can't hear you anymore |
| I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin' all the way down the road |
| I once loved a woman, a child I am told |
| I'd give her my heart but she wanted my soul |
| But don't think twice, it's alright. |

| Uhh, I don't know how much of a purist you are, but those lyrics are sort |
| of a combination of Peter, Paul and Mary's version and Dylan's. Here's the |
| lyrics I have for Dylan's, straight off "The Freewheelin'" |

| Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby |
| If'n you don't know by now |
| And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe |
| It'll never do somehow |
| When your rooster crows at the break of dawn, |
| look out your window and I'll be gone |
| you're the reason I'm a travelling on |
| But don't think twice, it's all right |
| And it ain't no use in turning on your light babe |
| the light I never knowed |
| and it ain't no use in turning on your light babe |
| I'm on the dark side of the road |
| Well I wish there was something you would do or say |
| to try and make me change my mind and stay |
| we never did too much talking anyway |
| But don't think twice, it's all right |

| like you never done before |
| and it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal |
| I can't hear you any more |
| I'm a thinkin' and a wonderin', walkin' down the road |
| I once loved a woman, a child I am told |
| I give her my heart but she wanted my soul |
| 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 babe |
| so I'll just say fare the well |
| I ain't a sayin' you treated me unkind |
| you coulda done better but, I don't mind |
| you just kinda wasted my precious time |
| Don't think twice, it's all right |
