1.    Your beauty is beyond compare, with flaming locks of auburn hair,

            G                                                Am    ~

    with ivory skin and eyes of emerald green.

                                     C                            G                    Am

    Your smile is like a breath of spring, your voice is soft like summer rain,

          G                                             Am      ~

    and I cannot compete with you, Jolene.

 

          Am                   C                                      G                 Am

2. He talks about you in his sleep, and there's nothing I can do to keep

                G                                                  Am      ~

    from crying, when he calls your name, Jolene.

                               C                           G                      Am

   Now I can easily understand,  how you could easily take my man,

           G                                                          a        ~

   but you don't know what he means to me, Jolene.    + CHORUS

 

      Am                            C                       G                    Am

3.  You can have your choice of men, but I could never love again,

        G                                       Am      ~

      he's the only one for me, Jolene.

                                   C                          G                 Am

     I had to have this talk with you,  my happiness depends on you,

                    G                                    Am     ~

     and whatever you decide to do, Jolene       + CHORUS

       Am

    Jolene, Jolene.
