Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

C Dm

I'm beggin' of you please don't take my man

F C Dm

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

C Dm

Please don't take him just because you can

F

Your beauty is beyond compare

C Dm

With flaming locks of auburn hair

C Dm

With iv'ry skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring

Your voice is soft like summerrain

And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep

And there is nothing I can do

To keep from crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can eas'ly understand

How you could eas'ly take my man

But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
