[Verse 1]
     A                                           D
Mmm, I could see you coming all the way from Amarillo
  A                                         E
Truck stop red lips pullin' on some nicotine
   A                                        D
Shining like the spokes on a brand new El Dorado
       A                                E               A
You're trailer park pretty, but you're never gonna be Jolene


[Chorus]
   A
Geraldene, Geraldene
 D                  A
Why you gotta be so mean
  A                                   E
Don't make me cause a scene now, Geraldene
   A
Geraldene, G-G-Geraldene
     D                     A
You get 'em all on their knees
        A                     E
But you can't take a man from me
            D   D  A  A  A  D C A  A  A  D C
Now, Geraldene


[Verse 2]
    A                                  D
If I was a man I'd make you my Dallas Alice
          A                                   E
I'd put a leftover pawn shop ring on your left hand
              A                                          D
You're never gonna be the backstage babe at the Crystal Palace
       A              E                          A
You're too late baby, I'm the only bitch in the band


[Chorus]
   A
Geraldene, Geraldene
 D                  A
Why you gotta be so mean
  A                                   E
Don't make me cause a scene now, Geraldene
   A
Geraldene, G-G-Geraldene
     D                     A
You get 'em all on their knees
        A                     E
But you can't take a man from me
            D
Now, Geraldene

[Chorus]
   A
Geraldene, Geraldene
 D                  A
Why you gotta be so mean
  A                                   E
Don't make me cause a scene now, Geraldene
   A
Geraldene, G-G-Geraldene
     D                     A
You get 'em all on their knees
        A                     E
But you can't take a man from me
            D
Now, Geraldene
  A          A       D C
Geraldene, G-G-Geraldene
  A          A       D C
Geraldene, G-G-Geraldene

Geraldene, G-G-Geraldene
