VERSE 
       Dm              F                
Your beauty is beyond compare 
          C              Dm
with flaming locks of almond hair 
      C                                   
With ivory skin 
                          
and eyes 
                 (intro x2)
of emerald green... ... ...  

       Dm              F                        
Your smile is like a breath of spring 
            C                 Dm
and your voice is soft like summer rain 
    C                                
And I cannot 

compete with you 
      (intro x2)
Jolene... ... ...

     Dm              F                       
He talks about you in his sleep 
             C            Dm
and there's nothing I can do to keep 
       C
from cryin 

when he calls your name 
       (intro x2)
Jolene... ... ...

VERSE 
     Dm                  F        
Well I can easily understand 
     C                  Dm
how you can easily take my man 
         C
But you don't know 

what he means to me 
       (intro x2)
Jolene... ... ... 


     Dm                   F
Well you could have your choice of man 
    C              Dm
but I could never love again 
 C
He's the only one for me 
       (intro x2)
Jolene... ... ... 

      Dm                F
An’ I had to have this talk with you 
    C                   Dm
my happiness depends on you and 
      C
whatever 

You decide to do 
       (intro x2)
Jolene... ... ...
