[G#] Jolene, [E] Jolene, [B] Jolene, [C#m]
Jolene
[B] I'm begging of you, please don't [C#] take [G#m] my [C#m] man
[G#m] Jolene, [C#m]
[E] Jolene, [B] Jolene, [C#m] Jolene
[B] Please don't take him just because [C#m] you can
Your beauty is [E] beyond compare
[B] With flaming locks [C#m] of auburn hair
[B] With ivory skin
And eyes of [C#m] emerald green
Your smile is [E] like a breath of spring
[B] Your voice is soft [C#m] like summer [B] rain
And I cannot compete with [C#m] you, Jolene
He talks about [E] you in his sleep
[B] And there's nothing I [C#m] can do to keep from [B] crying
When he calls your [C#m] name, Jolene
And I can [E] easily understand
[B] How you could [C#m] easily take my man
[B] But you don't know what he means to me, [C#m] Jolene
Jolene, [E] Jolene, [B] Jolene, [C#m] Jolene
[B] I'm begging of you, please don't [C#m] take my man
Jolene, [E] Jolene, [B] Jolene, [C#m] Jolene
[B] Please don't take him just because [C#m] you can
You could have [E] your choice of men
[B] That I could never [C#m] love again
[B] He's the only one for me, [C#m] Jolene
I had to have [E] this talk with you
[D#] My happiness [C#m] depends on you
And [B] whatever you decide to do, [C#m] Jolene
Jolene, [E] Jolene, [B] Jolene, [C#m]
Jolene
[B] I'm begging of you, please don't [C#m] take my man
Jolene,
[E] Jolene, [B] Jolene, [C#m] Jolene
[B] Please don't take him even though [C#m] you can Jolene
