[Verse 1]
Am D C A
I could see you coming all the way from Amarillo,
Am E D C
truck stop red lips pullin’ on some nicotine.
A D
Shining like the spokes on a brand new El Dorado,
Am E A A
you’re trailer park pretty, but you’re never gonna be Jolene.
[Chorus]
A A D A
Geraldene, Geraldene, why you gotta make me mean,
A A E E D C
don’t make me cause a scene now, Geraldene.
A A D A
Geraldene, Geraldene, you get ’em all on their knees,
A E D D
but you can’t take a man from me, Geraldene.
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Am D C A
If I was a man I’d make you my Dallas Alice,
Am E E D C
I’d put a leftover pawn shop ring on your left hand.
Am D
You’re never gonna be the backstage babe at the Crystal Palace,
Am E A A
you’re too late baby, I’m the only bitch in the band.
[Chorus]
A A D A
Geraldene, Geraldene, why you gotta make mean,
A A E E D C
don’t make me cause a scene now, Geraldene.
A A D A
Geraldene, Geraldene, you get ’em all on their knees,
A E D D
but you can’t take a man from me, Geraldene.
[Interlude]

[End-Chorus]
A A D A
Geraldene, Geraldene, why you gotta make me mean,
A A E E D C
don’t make me cause a scene now, Geraldene.
A A D A
Geraldene, Geraldene, you get ’em all on their knees,
A E D D
but you can’t take a man from me, Geraldene.
A A D C A
Geraldene, Geraldene,
A A D C A
Geraldene, Geraldene,
A A D C A A E D A
Geraldene, Geraldene.
