Tabbed by 

Recorded Aug 1963 as a Witmark Demo

Capo 1st fret (sounding key C#/Db major)

        G             /e        /d
Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
D                            /f# G
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more

Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
    D             /f#       G
And ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
Come on brother, join the band,
Come on sisters, clap your hands,
Tell everybody in every land,
I  ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
You know, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
Brown and blue and white and black,
We're one color on the one-way track,
We got this far and ain't a-goin' back
And ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
And I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
I ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
We're gonna notify your next of kin,
You're gonna raise the roof 'til the house falls in.
You can knock us down, we'll get up again,
We ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
We ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
We ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
We ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
We ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
We'll sing this song all night long,
Sing it to my baby from midnight on.
She'll sing it to you when I'm dead and gone,
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve, I ain't a-gonna grieve,
I ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
