[Chorus] Em G D Em D
/ Em /
Jolene, Jolene,
Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging 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
[Verse 2]
He talks about you
in his sleep
There's nothing I
can do to keep
From crying when he
calls your name,
Jolene
And I can easily
understand
How you could easily
take my man
But you don't know
what he means to me,
Jolene
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
You could have your
choice of men
But I could never
love again
He's the only one
for me, Jolene
I had to have this
talk with you
My happiness depends
on you
And whatever you
decide to do,
Jolene
[Chorus]
