     Am           C 
Your beauty is beyond compare 
      G/B             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/B                Am 
Your voice is soft like summer rain 
    G                          Am 
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene 
 

 
   Am               C 
He talks about you in his sleep 
        G/B           Am 
There's nothing I can do to keep 
      G                              Am 
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene 
                 C 
And I can easily understand 
    G/B              Am 
How you could easily take my man 
        G                               Am 
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene 
 

 
  Am      C       G/B     Am 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
    G                                   Am 
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man 
          C       G/B     Am 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
G                                      Am 
Please don't take him just because you can 
 

 
    Am*                 C* 
Now you could have your choice of men 
    G/B*          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/B*        Am* 
My happiness depends on you 
        G*                     Am 
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene 
 

 
          C       G/B     Am 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
    G                                    Am 
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man 
          C       G/B     Am 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
G                                     Am 
Please don't take him even though you can
