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

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G Em Am
Please don't take him just because you can
[Verse]
Am C
Your beauty is beyond compare
G Am
With flaming locks of auburn hair
G Em 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 Em Am
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
[Verse]
Am C
He talks about you in his sleep
G Am
There's nothing I can do to keep
G Em 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 Em Am
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Please don't take him just because you can
[Verse]
Am C
You could have your choice of men
G Am
But I could never love again
G Em 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 Em Am
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 Em Am
Please don't take him even though you can
