[Chorus]
A#m C# G# A#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G# A#m
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
A#m C# G# A#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G# Fm A#m
Please don't take him just because you can
[Verse]
A#m C#
Your beauty is beyond compare
G# A#m
With flaming locks of auburn hair
G# Fm A#m
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
A#m C#
Your smile is like a breath of spring
G# A#m
Your voice is soft like summer rain
G# Fm A#m
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
[Verse]
A#m C#
He talks about you in his sleep
G# A#m
There's nothing I can do to keep
G# Fm A#m
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
A#m C#
And I can easily understand
G# A#m
How you could easily take my man
G# Fm A#m
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
[Chorus]
A#m C# G# A#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G# A#m
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
A#m C# G# A#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G# Fm A#m
Please don't take him just because you can
[Verse]
A#m C#
You could have your choice of men
G# A#m
But I could never love again
G# Fm A#m
He's the only one for me, Jolene
A#m C#
I had to have this talk with you
G# A#m
My happiness depends on you
G# Fm A#m
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
[Chorus]
A#m C# G# A#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G# A#m
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
A#m C# G# A#m
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G# Fm A#m
Please don't take him even though you can
