Am                   C
Your beauty is beyond compare,
G                                Am
With flaming locks of auburn hair,

But you don't know what he means to me, jolene

And he talks about you in his sleep,
             G                Am
There's nothing I can do to keep
          G                                                    Am

Am                     C
Had to have this talk with you,

My happiness depends on you,
G                                          Am
Whatever you decide to do, jolene 

Am                                    C
And you could have your choice of men,
G                         Am
But I could never love again

Cos he's the only one for me, jolene  Jolene
