[Gm] _ _ I want to do a song for you now that a lot of people have been asking for ever since I started doing the Dolly Show.
They asked me why I didn't sing the song about Jolene.
Now this is a true story for those of you that don't know.
I wrote this song about 20 years ago about this woman down in Nashville that worked at the bank.
She was trying to [C] take care of my [Gm] husband while I was out on the road.
Well that didn't go over too big with me.
I fought that red-headed [C] woman like [Gm] a wild cat.
She jerked my wig off and almost beat me to death with it.
_ But I kept my [C] husband.
[Gm] I got that sucker home and I beat the [Cm] tar out of him.
We got a whole bunch of women [G] down here.

[Bb] with ivory skin and eyes [Cm] of emerald green.
_ _ _ Your smile is like a [Eb] breath of spring.
Your [Bb] voice is soft [Cm] like summer rain.
[Bb] Well, I cannot compete with you, [Cm] _ Jolene. _ _ _
