Am x6
[Refrain]
  Am      C       G/B     Am 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
         G                                    Am 
Ooh, I'm begging of you, please don't take my man 
  Am      C       G/B     Am 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
G                                    Am 
Please don't take him even though you can
[Strophe]
     Am          C 
Your beauty is beyond compare, 
     G                Am 
With flaming locks of auburn hair, 
     G                             Am 
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green  
     Am              C 
Your smile is like a breath of spring, 
     G                 Am 
Your skin is soft like summer rain, 
    G                            Am 
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene  
    Am             C 
And I could easily understand 
    G                Am 
How you could easily take my man 
        G                                 Am 
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene  
       Am              C 
And he talks about you in his sleep, 
        G             Am 
There's nothing I can do to keep 
     G                                  Am 
From crying, when he calls your name, Jolene ... Jolene
[Refrain]
  Am      C       G/B     Am 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
G                                    Am 
Please don't take him even though you can 
  Am      C       G/B     Am 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
G                                    Am 
Please don't take him even though you can
[Strophe]
Am               C 
Had to have this talk with you, 
   G           Am 
My happiness depends on you, 
    G                        Am 
Whatever you decide to do, Jolene  
    Am                  C 
And you could have your choice of men, 
    G             Am 
But I could never love again 
    G                           Am 
Cos he's the only one for me, Jolene ... Jolene
[Refrain]
  Am      C       G/B     Am 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
         G                                    Am 
Ooh, I'm begging of you, please don't take my man 
  Am      C       G/B     Am 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
G                                    Am 
Please don't take him even though you can
[Outro]
  Am 
Jolene ... Jolene
