Am        C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    G                                   Am(*)
I`m begging of you please don’t take my man
  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Verse 1:
     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 voice is soft like summer rain
    G                          Am(*)
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

Verse 2:
    Am             C
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
    Am           C
And I can easily understand 
    G                Am
How you could easily take my man
        G                               Am(*)
But you don`t know what he means to me, Jolene




Chorus:
  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    G                                Am(*)
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G                                  Am(*)
Please don`t take him just because you can

Verse 3:
Am                  C
You could have your choice of men
    G             Am
But I could never love again
    G                     Am(*)
He`s the only one for me, Jolene
  Am               C
I had to have this talk with you 
   G           Am
My happiness depends on you
    G                          Am(*)
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Chorus:
Am        C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    G                                   Am(*)
I`m begging of you please don’t take my man
  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G                                      Am(*)
Please don`t take him just because you can
