Jolene, Jolene - Jolene, Jolene     [Chorus]

(I'm begging of you, please             (x2)

 Don't take my man

/Please don't take him

 (Just because) you can) - …


         [Verse] G#m B F# G#m - F# D#m G#m G#m

Your beauty is beyond compare        G#m G#m

With flaming locks of auburn hair

With ivory skin and eyes - Of emerald green

… - Your smile is like a breath of spring

Your voice is soft like summer rain

And I cannot compete with you - Jolene

… - He talks about you in his sleep

There's nothing I can do to keep

From crying when he calls your name - Jolene

… - And I can easily understand

How you could easily take my man     [Intro]

But you don't know what he means        (x4)

    to me - Jolene                   G#m G#m


You could have your choice of men   [Chorus]

But I could never love again            (x2)

He's the only one for me - Jolene

… - I had to have this talk with you

My happiness depends on you

And whatever you decide        [Chorus] (x2)

    to do - Jolene             (Even though)
