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

Em Am
Eyes of emerald green

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

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
Please don't take my man
