Verse:
Am             C
Your beauty is beyond compare,
G                     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                       Am
Your skin is soft like summer rain,
G                                 Am
And I cannot compete with you, jolene 

Am                  C
And I could easily understand
G                    Am
How you could easily take my man
        G                               Am
But you don't know what he means to me, jolene 

       Am              C
And he talks about you in his sleep,
        G           Am
There's nothing I can do to keep
     G                                  Am
From crying, when he calls your name, jolene  Jolene   

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

Am              C
Had to have this talk with you,
  G          Am
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
   G                          Am
Cos he's the only one for me, jolene  Jolene    

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