CHORUS:
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him, just because you can
VERSE 1:
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 compete with you, Jolene
And he talks about you in his sleep, and there is nothin' I can do to keep
From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene
CHORUS:
Dm Dm/e
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
C5 N.C. Dm Dmsus2 X Dmsus2
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
C5 N.C. Dm Dmsus2
Please don't take him, even though you can
VERSE 2:
Now, I can easily understand how you could easily take my man
But you do not know what he means to me, Jolene
Well, you could have your choice of men, but I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
And I had to have this talk with you, 'cause my happiness, it depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
CHORUS
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him, just because you can
