[Chorus]
  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    G                                   Am
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G                                     Am
Please don't take him just because you can
 
[Verse 1]
     Am           C
Your beauty is beyond compare
      G                Am
With flaming locks of auburn hair
     G                              Am
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
      Am              C
Your smile is like a breath of spring
      G                  Am
Your voice is soft like summer rain
    G                          Am
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
 
[Verse 2]
   Am               C
He talks about you in his sleep
        G             Am
There's nothing I can do to keep
      G                              Am
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
    Am            C
And I can easily understand
    G                 Am
How you could easily take my man
        G                                Am
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
 
[Chorus]
  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    G                                   Am
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G                                    Am
Please don't take him just because you can
 
[Verse 3]
Am                    C
You could have your choice of men
    G              Am
But I could never love again
G                          Am
He's the only one for me, Jolene
  Am                C
I had to have this talk with you
   G            Am
My happiness depends on you
        G                        Am
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
 
[Chorus]
  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    G                                   Am
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G                                    Am
Please don't take him even though you can
