[Chorus]
  Cm      D#      A#      Cm
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
     A#                                 Cm
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
  Cm      D#      A#     Cm
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
   A#                  Gm             Cm
Please don't take him just because you can


[Verse]
       Cm        D#
Your beauty is beyond compare
       A#               Cm
With flaming locks of auburn hair
       A#            Gm              Cm
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
       Cm             D#
Your smile is like a breath of spring
       A#                 Cm
Your voice is soft like summer rain
       A#        Gm             Cm
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene


[Verse]
    Cm             D#
He talks about you in his sleep
     A#               Cm
There's nothing I can do to keep
       A#            Gm               Cm
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
    Cm            D#
And I can easily understand
    A#                Cm
How you could easily take my man
         A#                 Gm           Cm
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene


[Chorus]
  Cm      D#      A#      Cm
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
      A#                                Cm
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
  Cm      D#      A#      Cm
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
  A#                   Gm             Cm
Please don't take him just because you can


[Verse]
Cm                    D#
You could have your choice of men
    A#             Cm
But I could never love again
   A#          Gm           Cm
He's the only one for me, Jolene
   Cm               D#
I had to have this talk with you
    A#          Cm
My happiness depends on you
        A#         Gm            Cm
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene


[Chorus]
  Cm      D#      A#      Cm
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
      A#                                Cm
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
  Cm      D#      A#      Cm
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
  A#                   Gm            Cm
Please don't take him even though you can
