Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
     B                                   C#m
I`m begging of you please dont`t take my man
  C#m      E       B      C#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
   B                                     C#m
Please don`t take him just because you can

[verse]
       C#m        E
Your beauty is beyond compare
       B                C#m
With flaming locks of auburn hair
       B             G#m              C#m
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
       C#m             E
Your smile is like a breath of spring
       B                  C#m
Your voice is soft like summer rain
       B         G#m             C#m
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

[verse]
    C#m             E
He talks about you in his sleep
       B                C#m
There's nothing I can do to keep
       B             G#m              C#m
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
    C#m             E
And I can easily understand
       B                C#m
How you could easily take my man
       B             G#m              C#m
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

[chorus]
C#m       E       B       C#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
     B                                   C#m
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
  C#m      E       B      C#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
   B                                     C#m
Please don't take him just because you can

[verse]
C#m                 E
You could have your choice of men
      B              C#m
But I could never love again
   B           G#m           C#m
He's the only one for me, Jolene
   C#m               E
I had to have this talk with you
    B           C#m
My happiness depends on you
        B          G#m            C#m
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

[chorus]
  C#m      E       B       C#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
      B                                 C#m
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
  C#m      E       B       C#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
  B                    G#m            C#m
Please don't take him even though you can
