CHORUS: [D#m] Jolene, [F#] Jolene, [C#] Jolene, [D#m] Jolene
I'm [C#] begging of you please don't take my [D#m] man [D#m] Jolene, [F#] Jolene, [C#] Jolene, [D#m] Jolene [C#] Please don't take him [A#m] just because you [D#m] can
VERSE 1:
Your [D#m] beauty is [F#] beyond compare, with [C#] flaming locks of [D#m] auburn hair
With [C#] ivory skin and [A#m] eyes of emerald [D#m] green
Your [D#m] smile is like a [F#] breath of spring, your [C#] voice is soft like [D#m] summer rain
And I [C#] cannot [A#m] compete with you, [D#m] Jolene
VERSE 2:
He [D#m] talks about you [F#] in his sleep, there's [C#] nothing I can [D#m] do to keep
From [C#] crying when he [A#m] calls your name [D#m] Jolene
And [D#m] I can easily [F#] understand, how [C#] you could easily [D#m] take my man
But [C#] you don't know [A#m] what he means to me, [D#m] Jolene
VERSE 3:
You [D#m] could have your [F#] choice of men, but [C#] I could never [D#m] love again
He's [C#] the only [A#m] one for me, [D#m] Jolene
I [D#m] had to have this [F#] talk with you, my [C#] happiness [D#m] depends on you [C#] Whatever you [A#m] decide to do, [D#m] Jolene
