[Intro]
Am x6

[Chorus]
  Am      C       G/B     Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
         G                                    Am
Ooh, I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
  Am      C       G/B     Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G                                    Am
Please don't take him even though you can

[Verse]
     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 skin is soft like summer rain,
    G                            Am
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

    Am             C
And I could easily understand
    G                Am
How you could easily take my man
        G                                 Am
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

       Am              C
And 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 ... Jolene

[Chorus]
  Am      C       G/B     Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G                                    Am
Please don't take him even though you can
  Am      C       G/B     Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G                                    Am
Please don't take him even though you can

[Verse]
Am               C
Had to have this talk with you,
   G           Am
My happiness depends on you,
    G                        Am
Whatever you decide to do, Jolene

    Am                  C
And you could have your choice of men,
    G             Am
But I could never love again
    G                           Am
Cos he's the only one for me, Jolene ... Jolene

[Chorus]
  Am      C       G/B     Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
         G                                    Am
Ooh, I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
  Am      C       G/B     Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G                                    Am
Please don't take him even though you can

[Outro]
  Am
Jolene ... Jolene
