Ain't No Sunshine  Bill Withers

Basically Am and Em, picking the bass note then a strum for each:
pick, Am, pick, Em, pick 6th string with pinky on third fret, repeat.
I don't have this written in below. The chords listed are transitions
from this pattern.

Intro: Repeat the above pattern a couple of times, then during
verses, starting with the first Am listed below
Ain't no sunshine when she's [Am]gone [Em]
Only darkness every [Am]day [Em]
Ain't no sunshine when she's [Dm]gone
And this house just ain't no [F]home,
[Am]Anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's [Dm]gone
And this house just ain't no [F]home,
[Am]Anytime she goes away.

And I know I know I know [Gm]I [Am]know I know I know I know I [Gm]I [Am]know... To add fill, every fourth "I know, pound on Gm and slide down two frets to A
m (same fingering)
Baby you're leaving me far be[Dm]hind
There ain't sunshine when she's [Am]gone

Repeat 1st verse

This sounds great on a electric, not so great on an acoustic. For
acoustic, I strum continuously between "picks", and for the "I know"
business I pound the strings holding down only the second string
of the first fret, then hammer down onto an Am.

Watch the YouTube video and you will see that this is not the way that Bill plays this at all. Also, it is an acoustic song.
