*Note that this is just one of the ways he plays the song.* He
improvises bits and pieces of the song every time he goes on stage so it's never the same.
Here is the way he played it at Madison Square Garden a few years ago. (Look up on
YouTube for song version)
[Part 1]

The first and seconds bars are NOT identical. Listen to song for the differences in
timing and accents.
Repeat the above part a few times, then...

What makes this song great is John's funky style of playing and the feel he pours into
it. The options for improvisation are endless.
I gave you some general framework and example parts that John Mayer plays. If you want
to branch out and add your own touch, experiment with the minor pentatonic scale at the
1st position relative for each root note (3rd fret, 10th fret, and 8th fret of the low E string)
Ain't no sunshine when she gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
{Instrumental Break}
Wonder this time where he's gone
Wonder if he's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
This house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away
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, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
[Verse 3: Buddy Guy]
I think I should leave the young thing alone
Cause ain't no sunshine when she gone
Ain't no sunshine when she gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she gone
This house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
(Ain't no sunshine)
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
(Ain't no sunshine)
(Anytime he goes away)
Anytime she goes away
(Anytime he goes away)
Anytime she goes away
(Anytime he goes away)
Anytime she goes away

Ain't no sunshine when she gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
{Instrumental Break}
Wonder this time where he's gone
Wonder if he's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
This house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away
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, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
Verse 3:
I think I should leave the young thing alone
Cause ain't no sunshine when she gone
Ain't no sunshine when she gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she gone
This house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
(Ain't no sunshine)
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
(Ain't no sunshine)
(Anytime he goes away)
Anytime she goes away
(Anytime he goes away)
Anytime she goes away
(Anytime he goes away)
Anytime she goes away
