[Intro]
Bm


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


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


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


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


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


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