Am C G Am G Am Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I'm begging of you please don't take my man Am C G Am G Am Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. Jolene Please don't take him just because you can (Please don't take him even though you can) Am C G Am 1. Your beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of auburn hair G Em Am with ivory skin and eyes of emerald green. Am C G Am Your smile is like a breathe of spring your voice is soft like summer rain G Em Am And I can not compete with you Jolene. Am C G Am He talks about you in his sleep and there's nothing I can do to keep G Em Am from crying when he calls your name Jolene Am C G Am Now I can easily understand how you could easily take my man G Em Am But you don't know what he means to me Jolene go to chorus, then to 2nd verse Am C G Am 2. You can have your choice of men but I could never love again G Em Am He's the only one for me Jolene Am C G Am I had to have this talk with you My happiness depends on you G Em Am and whatever you decide to do Jolene
