[Intro]
C#m
[Chorus]
C#m E B C#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
B C#m
I’m begging of you, please don’t take my man
C#m E B C#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
B G#m C#m
Please don’t take him just because you can
[Verse]
C#m E
Your beauty is beyond compare
B C#m
With flaming locks of auburn hair
B G#m C#m
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
C#m E
Your smile is like a breath of spring
B C#m
Your voice is soft like summer rain
B G#m C#m
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
[Verse]
C#m E
He talks about you in his sleep
B C#m
There’s nothing I can do to keep
B G#m C#m
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
C#m E
And I can easily understand
B C#m
How you could easily take my man
B G#m C#m
But you don’t know what he means to me, Jolene
[Chorus]
C#m E B C#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
B C#m
I’m begging of you, please don’t take my man
C#m E B C#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
B G#m C#m
Please don’t take him just because you can
[Verse]
C#m E
You could have your choice of men
B C#m
But I could never love again
B G#m C#m
He’s the only one for me, Jolene
C#m E
I had to have this talk with you
B C#m
My happiness depends on you
B G#m C#m
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
[Chorus]
C#m E B C#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
B C#m
I’m begging of you, please don’t take my man
C#m E B C#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
B G#m C#m
Please don’t take him even though you can
