Jo- [Am] lene, Jo- [C] lene
Jo- [G] lene, Jo- [Am] lene
I'm [G] begging of you
[Em] please don't take my
[Am] man
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
please don't take him
just because you
can
your beauty is beyond compare
with flaming locks of auburn hair
with ivory skin and
eyes of emerald
green
your smile is like a breath of spring
your voice is soft like summer rain
and I cannot com-
pete with you Jo-
lene
he talks about you in his sleep
and there's nothing I can do to keep from
crying when he
calls your name Jo-
lene
and I can easily understand
how you could easily take my man
but you don't know what he
means to me Jo-
lene
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you
please don't take my
man
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
please don't take him
just because you
can
you could have your choice of men
but I could never love again
he's the only
one for me Jo-
lene
I had to have this talk with you
my happiness depends on you
and whatever you de-
cide to do Jo-
lene
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you
please don't take my
man
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
please don't take him
just because you
can
