Chords for Simple Ukulele Songs-Jolene, Dolly Parton

_ _ Hi, my name is Jen minor.
Thank you for joining [N] me here at ukulelehybrids.com for ukulele lessons and ukulele chords and
ukulele simple songs
All right, so I recently posted a video
_ introducing the D minor chord
_ _ _ _ If you haven't seen that video just to review it really quickly you're going to basically make an F chord so
That would be second fret top string and then
_ Your pointer finger is going to be the first fret third string down and then for the D minor chord just to transform it
To a [D] D minor chord from an F chord
You're going to [Am] take your ring [F] finger and put it [Fm] on the second fret
Second [Ab] string down right under your middle [Dm] finger there, and it should sound similar to this
[G] Also, I should mention this is a banjo [Ab] ukulele if you haven't seen one here [B] you go, they're pretty cool
[Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ The only chords you're going to need for this song is a [F] D minor _
_ _ [Am] F, C
[Dm] D minor [F] and the song is Jolene.
It's originally by I believe Dolly Parton
_ [B] I tend to slow it down a bit, but if you want to [Gb] make it faster go [Dm] for it
_ [Eb] so _
The first chord there's so there's two different parts.
There's the chorus and then [E] there's the verse
so the chorus I'm going to show you that now because it actually starts out with the [Dm] chorus in the song and _
It's going to go [Gb] a little something like this.
So we have a D
[Dm] _ _ _
[F] _ F
[C] _ C
[Dm] D minor so I think I said D before it's a D minor so D minor _
[F] F
_ C D [Dm] minor _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Jolene Jolene _ [C] _ Jolene _ _ _
_ [C] That's a C _ _ _ [Dm] D minor all right, so the whole thing together _ _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
Jolene Jolene
I'm [C] backin' up you
Please don't take my [Dm] man _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] Jolene Jolene [C] _ Jolene [Dm] _ Jolene
_ _ [F] Please don't take [C] him
Even [Dm] though you can
So once again, it's just D minor [F] F [C] _ C [Dm] D minor
_ [C] F C D minor
C _ _ [Dm] D minor _ _
D [F] minor D minor D minor D minor D minor _
D [Dm] _ minor _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] D minor Okay
_ _ So that is
The [Eb] course it pretty much is the whole song and I'll show you why here.
So the verse is like this
[Ab] _ _ [F] D minor, _ F, [C] _ C, [Dm] D minor, _
_ _ [C] C, E, _ [Dm] D minor.
_ And I'll sing a little bit of this.
You're actually playing the same thing.
_ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ Okay, so I'm just going to go ahead and sing [N] the opening chorus, verse, [C] _ and then the chorus really quickly.
Just [Fm] so you can, you know, hear it and learn it and [Dm] rock out.
Alright, here we go.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] Okay, so just a reminder, it's D minor, [F] _ [Am] F, C, [Dm] D minor, _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] D minor. _ _ _
_ _ [F] Jolene, [C] Jolene, _ [Dm] Jolene, _ Jolene.
_ [C] I'm backing up you, please don't take [Dm] my man. _ _ _
_ _ [F] Jolene, [Am] Jolene, Jolene, _ [Dm] Jolene.
_ _ [C] _ Please don't take him, even though [Dm] you can.
Your _ _ beauty [F] is beyond [Am] compare, with flaming [Dm] oxygen.
_ _ _ _ [C] Without your skin and eyes of [Dm] emerald green. _ _
Your beauty [F] is like a breath of [Am] spring, your voice is [Dm] sublime, sublime.
_ _ [C] And I cannot compete with you, [Dm] Jolene.
I've talked some [F] action, let me [C] sleep, there's nothing I [Dm] can do to keep _ [C] from crying when he calls your [Dm] name, Jolene. _ _ _
_ Jolene, [F] Jolene, [C] _ Jolene, [Dm] Jolene.
_ _ _ [C] I'm backing up you, please don't [Dm] take my man. _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] Jolene, Jolene, [C] _ Jolene, [Dm] _ Jolene.
_ _ [C] Please don't take him, even though you [Dm] can. _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ And there you have it.
So, [F]
good luck, [E] rock out, have fun, and [Bb] I'll see you next time.
