Jolene Ukulele Chords

[Verse 1]
D
Paychecks and cigarettes govern the kitchenette
she works the evenings,
G                  A
believing what her teachers always said:
D
"Jolene is very keen, that girl will live the dream--
G                                 A
Go to college, get away." But her boyfriend, in the prison, he'll say:
 
 
[chorus]
Bm           A                 G
Wait for me, one more day, and when I'm free,
G                D
Baby we will run away
 
[Verse 2]
D
John Paul sold Adderall and cocaine by the shopping mall
 
he made him a few bucks,
G                           A
now he's locked up, serving time until next fall
D
Plans made in seventh grade, he left them all delayed
G                                 A
but she loves him, even so; so he begs her, Oh my darling don't go
 
[chorus]
Bm           A                 G
Wait for me, one more day, and when I'm free
G                D       G
Baby we will run awaaaaaay.
G                D       G
Baby we will run awaaaaaay.

I'm gonna make parole and, you're gonna leave that hole, and
G
We're gonna find a place where, nobody knows our faces
