[Intro]
Gm


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


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


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


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


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


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