I'm b Eb egging of you please don't take my Cm man.
Jol Cm ene, Jol Eb ene, Jol Cm ene, Jol Eb ene,
Ple Eb ase don't take him just because you c Cm an.
The verse is just: Cm,Eb,Bb,Cm,Bb,Bb,Am,Am,Am,Am for a bar each.
It's easier to play with a capo at the 3rd fret. If you do this, the chords translate as below:
Cm -> Am
Eb -> C
Bb -> G
I find this easier to play, and a better sound.
Song structure:
Chorus, Verses 1234, Chorus, Verses 56, Chorus (x4)

Verse 1
~~~~~~
Your beauty is beyond compare,
With flaming locks of golden hair,
With iv'ry skin and eyes of emerald green.
Verse 2
~~~~~~
Your smile is like a breath of spring,
Your voice is soft like summer rain,
And I cannot compete with you,
Jolene.
Verse 3

He talks about you in his sleep,
There's nothing I can do to keep,
>From crying when he calls your name,
Jolene.
Verse 4
~~~~~~
And I can easily understand,
How you could easily take my man,
But you don't know what he means to me,
Jolene.
Verse 5
~~~~~~
Well you can have your choice of men,
But I can never love again,
He's the only one for me,
Jolene.
Verse 6
~~~~~~
I have to have this talk with you,
My happiness depends on you,
Whatever you decide to do,
Jolene.
