Verse 1
C#mE
Your beauty is beyond compare
BC#m
With flaming locks of auburn hair
BC#m
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
C#mE
Your smile is like a breath of spring
BC#m
Your voice is soft like summer rain
BC#m
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
Verse 2
C#mE
He talks about you in his sleep
BC#m
There's nothing I can do to keep
BC#m
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understand
BC#m
How you could easily take my man
BC#m
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you

My happiness depends on you

And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
