[Intro]

Am

 
[Chorus]

  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
     G            
I'm begging of you, 

                    Am
Please don't take my man

  Am      C       G      Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
   G                 
Please don't take him 

 Em             Am
Just because you can
 
[Verse]
       Am        C
Your beauty is beyond compare

       G                Am
With flaming locks of auburn hair

       G            
With ivory skin and 

 Em              Am
Eyes of emerald green

       Am             C
Your smile is like a breath of spring

       G                  Am
Your voice is soft like summer rain

       G         Em             Am
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
 
[Verse]

    Am             C
He talks about you in his sleep
     G        
There's nothing 
      Am
I can do to keep

       G           
From crying when he 

 Em               Am
Calls your name, Jolene

    Am            C
And I can easily understand
    G                 Am
How you could easily take my man
         G             
But you don't know what 
    Em           Am
He means to me, Jolene
 
[Chorus]

  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
      G          
I'm begging of you, 
                    Am
Please don't take my man

  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
  G                    
Please don't take him 

 Em             Am
Just because you can
 
[Verse]

Am                    C
You could have your choice of men

    G              Am
But I could never love again

   G           Em           Am
He's the only one for me, Jolene

   Am               C
I had to have this talk with you

    G           Am
My happiness depends on you

        G          Em            Am
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

 
[Chorus]

  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
      G           
I'm begging of you, 
                   Am
Please don't take my man

  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
  G                 
Please don't take him 
 Em            Am
Even though you can
