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
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
C5 Dm Dmsus2 X Dmsus2
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
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
