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