{start_of_chorus}
  [Am]Jolene, [C]Jolene, [G]Jolene, [Am]Jolene
  I'm [G]begging of you [Em]please don't [Am]take my man [Am]
  [Am]Jolene, [C]Jolene, [G]Jolene, [Am]Jolene
  [G]Please don't take him [Em]just because you [Am]can [Am]
{end_of_chorus}


Your [Am]beauty is bey[C]ond compare
With [G]flaming locks of auburn [Am]hair
With [G]ivory skin and [Em]eyes of emerald [Am]green

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name Jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me Jolene

{start_of_chorus}
  Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
  I'm begging of you please don't take my man
  Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
  Please don't take him just because you can
{end_of_chorus}


You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me Jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do Jolene

{start_of_chorus}
  Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
  I'm begging of you please don't take my man
  Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
  Please don't take him even though you can
