Chorus: [Dm] Jolene, [F] Jolene, [C] Jolene, [Dm] Jolene
I'm [C] begging of you please don't take my [Dm] man
[Dm] Jolene, [F] Jolene, [C] Jolene, [Dm] Jolene
[C] Please don`t take him [Am] just because you [Dm] can
1. Your [Dm] beauty is be-[F] yond compare
With [C] flaming locks of au-[Dm] burn hair
With [C] ivory skin and [A] eyes of emerald [Dm] green
Your [Dm] smile is like a [F] breath of spring
Your [C] voice is soft like [Dm] summer rain
And I [C] cannot com-[Am] pete with you, [Dm] Jolene
2. He [Dm] talks about you [F] in his sleep
There`s [C] nothing i can [Dm] do to keep
From [C] crying when he [Am] calls your name, [Dm] Jolene
And [Dm] I can easily [F] understand
How [C] you could easily [Dm] take my man
But [C] you don`t know [Am] what he means to me, [Dm] Jolene
3. You [Dm] could have your [F] choice of men
But [C] I could never [Dm] love again
He`s [C] the only [Am] one for me, [Dm] Jolene
I [Dm] had to have this [F] talk with you
My [C] happiness de-[Dm] pends on you
What [C] ever you de-[Am] cide to do, [Dm] Jolene
