I'm [B]begging of you please don't [C#m]take my man
[C#m]Jolene, [E]Jolene, [B]Jolene, [C#m]Jolene

Your [C#m]beauty is [E]beyond compare
With [B]flaming locks of auburn [C#m]hair
With [B]ivory skin and eyes of emerald [C#m]green
Your [C#m]smile is like a [E]breath of spring
Your [B]voice is soft like summer [C#m]rain
And [B]I cannot compete with you
[C#m]Jolene
[C#m]He talks about you [E]in his sleep
And there's [B]nothing I can [C#m]do to keep
From [B]crying when he calls your name
[C#m]Jolene
And [C#m]I can easily [E]understand
How [B]you could easily [C#m]take my man
But you [B]don't know what he means to me
[C#m]Jolene

But [B]I could never [C#m]love again
[B]He's the only one for me

My [B]happiness [C#m]depends on you
And [B]whatever you [B]decide to do
[C#m]Jolene
