Please don`t take him just because you can
[Verse 1]
     Am          C
Your beauty is beyond compare
     G                Am
With flaming locks of auburn hair
     G                             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

                              *
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
[Verse 2]
    Am             C
He talks about you in his sleep
        G             Am
There’s nothing I can do to keep
     G                              Am
                                    *
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
    Am           C
And I can easily understand 
    G                Am
How you could easily take my man
        G                              Am
                                       *
But you don`t know what he means to me, Jolene
[Chorus]
  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don`t take him just because you can
[Verse 3]
Am                  C
You could have your choice of men
    G             Am
But I could never love again
    G                    Am
                         *
He`s the only one for me, Jolene
  Am               C
I had to have this talk with you 
   G           Am
My happiness depends on you
    G                         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 my man
  Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G                                     Am
