Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    G                              Am
I'm warnin’ you, don't come for my man (Jolene)

Don't take the chance because you think you can
 
 
[Verse 1]
       Am           C
You’re beautiful, beyond compare
      C                      Am
Takes more than beauty and seductive stares
   G                                 Am
To come between a family and a happy man
Am            C
Jolene, I'm a woman too
    G                  Am
Thе games you play are nothing new
   G                               Am
So you don't want no hеat with me, Jolene
           Am               C
We've been deep in love for twenty years
  G                  Am
I raised that man, I raised his kids
  G                                    Am
I know my man better than he knows himself (Yeah, what?)
Am           C
I can easily understand
    G                Am
Why you're attracted to my man
              G                                                Am
But you don't want this smoke, so shoot your shot with someone else (You heard me)
 
 
[Chorus]
  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    G                                     Am
I'm warnin' you, woman, find you your own man
  Am      C          G        Am
Jolene, I know I’m a queen, Jolene
            G                            Am
I’m still a Creole banjee bitch from Louisianne (Don't try me)
 
 
[Verse 2]
          Am                C
There’s a thousand girls in every room
     G                Am
That act as desperate as you do
         G                                 Am
You're a bird, go on and sing your tune, Jolene (What?)
  Am               C
I had to have this talk with you
         G               Am
'Cause I hate to have to act the fool
     G                              Am
Your peace depends on how you move, Jolene
 
 
[Bridge]
              F             G
Me and my man crossed those valleys
Fdim                    Am
Highs and lows and everything between
           G                     Gm Dm
Good deeds roll in like tumblin' weeds
  Am          C
I sleep good, happy
           F                G
'Cause you can’t dig up our planted seeds
Am                         G                             Am
I know my man's gon' stand by me, breathin' in my gentle breeze (Ah)
  F             G
I crossed those valleys
G#dim                   Am
Highs and lows and everything between
                G                  Dm
Good deeds roll in like tumblin' weeds
         Em
Good and happy
F                            G
'Cause you can't dig up them planted seeds
  Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
              G                      Am
I'ma stand by her, she will stand by me, Jolene
 
 
[Outro]
              G                     Em
I'ma stand by him, he gon' stand by me
               G                      Em
(I'ma stand by her, she gon' stand by me)
              D                         Am
I'ma stand by him, he gon' stand by me, Jolene
