Intro

Chorus

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him, just because you can

Verse 1

Your beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of auburn hair

With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring, your voice is soft like summer rain

And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

And he talks about you in his sleep, and there is nothin' I can do to keep

From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene

Chorus

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

C5 Dm Dmsus2 X Dmsus2

I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him, even though you can

Verse 2

Now, I can easily understand how you could easily take my man

But you do not know what he means to me, Jolene

Well, you could have your choice of men, but I could never love again

He's the only one for me, Jolene

And I had to have this talk with you, 'cause my happiness, it depends on you

And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
