[Chorus]
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
G Am Am
I'm begging of you please don't take her man.
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
G Am Am
please dont hold on just because you can.
[Verse 1]
Am C
Your beauty is beyond compare
G Am
with flaming locks of auburn hair
G Am Am
with ivory skin and eyes of emerald green.
Am C
Your smile is like a breath of spring,
G Am
your voice is soft like summer rain,
G Am Am
but I can't keep on seeing you, Jolene.
Am C
Honey, I've talked about you in my sleep
G Am
and there's nothing she can do to keep
G Am Am
from crying when I say your name, Jolene, yeah.
Am C
But I can easily understand
G Am
how you can easily change our plans
G Am Am
but you don't know what she means to me, Jolene.
[Chorus]
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
G Am Am
I'm begging of you please don't take her man.
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
G Am Am
please dont hold on just because you can.
[Verse 2]
Am C
You can have your choice of men
G Am
but I could never love again,
G Am
she's the only one for me, Jolene.
Am C
So, I had to have this talk with you,
G Am
our happiness depends on you
Am
and whatever you decide to do, Jolene.
[Chorus]
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
G Am
I'm begging of you please don't take her man.
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
G Am Am
please dont hold on just because you can.
[Chorus]
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
G Am Am
I'm begging of you please don't take her man.
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
G Am Am
please dont hold on just because you can.
[End-Chorus]
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
G Am Am
I'm begging of you please don't take her man.
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
