[Verse]

Dm             F
Your beauty is beyond compare
     C                Dm
With flaming locks of auburn hair
     C                              Dm
With iv'ry skin and eyes of emerald green


Dm                   F
Your smile is like a breath of spring
     C                  Dm
Your voice is soft like summer rain
    C                          Dm
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene


Dm                 F
He talks about you in his sleep
    C                Dm
And there is nothing I can do
   C                                         Dm
To keep from crying when he calls your name, Jolene


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


[Chorus]

 Dm      F       C       Dm
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    C                                   Dm
I'm beggin' of you please don't take my man
 Dm      F       C       Dm
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
C                                      Dm
Please don't take him just because you can


[Verse]

Dm                    F
You could have your choice of men
    C              Dm
But I could never love again
   C           Am           Dm
He's the only one for me, Jolene
   Dm               F
I had to have this talk with you
    C           Dm
My happiness depends on you
    C           Am           Dm
Whatever you decide to do, Jolene
 

[Chorus]

  Dm      F       C       Dm
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
      C                                 Dm
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
  Dm      F       C       Dm
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
  C                    Am            Dm
Please don't take him even though you can
