Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
A# Cm
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Cm D# A# Cm
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
A# Cm
Please don't take him just because you can
[Verse 1]

Your beauty is beyond compare
A# Cm
With flaming locks of auburn hair
A# Cm
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring

Your voice is soft like summer rain
A# Cm
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
[Verse 2]

He talks about you in his sleep
A# Cm
There's nothing I can do to keep

From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understand
A# Cm
How you could easily take my man
A# Cm
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
[Chorus]

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you, please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
A# Cm
Please don't take him just because you can
[Verse 3]
Cm D#
You could have your choice of men
A# Cm
But I could never love again
A# Cm
He's the only one for me, Jolene
Cm D#
I had to have this talk with you
A# Cm
My happiness depends on you
A# Cm
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
[Chorus]
Cm D# A# Cm
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
A# Cm
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Cm D# A# Cm
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
A# Cm
Please don't take him even though you can
