[Intro] Am


Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
G                                      Am
I'm begging you, please don't take my man
Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
G                                     Am
Please don't take him even though you can

Am             C
Your beauty is beyond compare
G                     Am
With flaming locks of auburn hair
G                                 Am
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Am                   C
Your smile is like a breath of spring
G                       Am
Your skin is soft like summer rain
G                                 Am
And I cannot compete with you, jolene

Am                  C
And I could easily understand
G                    Am
How you could easily take my man
        G                               Am
But you don't know what he means to me, jolene

       Am              C
And he talks about you in his sleep
        G           Am
There's nothing I can do to keep
     G                                  Am
From crying, when he calls your name, jolene  Jolene

Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
G                                      Am
I'm begging you, please don't take my man
Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
G                                     Am
Please don't take him even though you can

Am              C
Had to have this talk with you
  G          Am
My happiness depends on you
G                          Am
Whatever you decide to do, jolene

Am                      C
And you could have your choice of men
G                 Am
But I could never love again
   G                          Am
Cos he's the only one for me, jolene  Jolene

Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
G                                      Am
I'm begging you, please don't take my man
Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
G                                     Am
Please don't take him even though you can
 Am      G     Am
Jolene, Jolene
