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

VERSE
Your beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of almond hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring and your voice is soft like
summer rain
And I cannot compete with you Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep and there's nothing I can do to keep
from cryin
When he calls your name Jolene

REPEAT CHORUS

PLAY INTRO

VERSE
Well I can easily understand how you can easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me Jolene

Well you could have your choice of man but I could never love again
He's the only one for me Jolene

An' I had to have this talk with you my happiness depends on you and
whatever
You decide to do Jolene

REPEAT CHORUS
