E                                         A
I only play this bar 'cause i know you'll be here

F#                         B 
They don't like me, i can tell

E                                     A 
Everyone except the band looks like a rock star

    F#                  B             A
And everyone except for you can go to hell

CHORUS

E    F#   A                            E        B
Jolene, i wish i played the songs that make you dance

E                     F#        A 
Cause i know what you mean when you say

             E   B        A
We are never anything but free
A                                  E        B       E
Is there room out on that wire for me?

E F# A B

E                                  A
I've seen the suicides you used to hang with

F#                           B
I know the dirty town you're from

E                                        A
And i watched 'em blow away like ash and charcoal

F#                   B              A
Far below this crazy diamond you've become

CHORUS

E    F#   A                            E        B
Jolene, i wish i played the songs that make you dance

E                     F#        A 
Cause i know what you mean when you say

             E   B        A
We are never anything but free
A                                  E        B       E
Is there room out on that wire for me?

E F# A B (walk up) C
 
C#                     B           A         E 
You're a stained glass window on a back door screen
C#                    B           A          B
You're the things you say and the things you mean

A                 B          E           A
You're a New York doll and a Mississippi queen
F#                    B       A     E
And you're each sweet mile between, Jolene
