[CT #4][0]

[INTRO][RIFF]
Am

   Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
     G                Em                  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 just because you can

       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
 
    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

    Am     C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
     G                Em                  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 just because you can

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
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
     G                Em                  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
