Dolly Parton with Melissa Etheridge - Jolene Chords

_ Who and when was Jolene? _
_ _ _ _ And did she get your man?
She tried.
I tell you what, this was back when I first got married.
This was this red-headed gal that was working down at the bank.
I knew my husband was spending more time at the bank than we had money.
So, but anyhow, she didn't get him.
But she almost did, but that was like 37 years ago.
I look at him now,
and I think about hiding his Viagra and say, go get him.
_ He's [Am] keeping his hands off my makeup, man!
_ [G] _ _ [B] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[G] _ [Am] _ _ _ Jolene, _ [C]
Jolene, [G] Jolene, [A] Jolene
[Am] _ [G] I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
_ [Am] _ _
Jolene, Jolene, [C] Jolene, [G] Jolene, [A] [Em] Jolene
[Am] _
[G] Please don't take him just because [A] he came
[G] _ [Am]
Your beauty [C] is beyond [G] compare
With flaming [Am] locks of auburn [Em] hair and [G] ivory skin
And [Am] eyes of emerald green
Your smile is [C] like a breath of [G] spring
Your voice is [Am] soft like summer [G] rain
And I cannot compete with you, [Am] Jolene Jolene
Talks [C] about you in his [G] sleep
There's nothing [A] I can do to [G] keep from crying
When he calls your [Am] name, Jolene
And I can [C] easily [G] understand
How you could [Am] easily take my [G] man
But you don't know what he means to [Am] me
Jolene, _ Jolene, [C] Jolene, [G] Jolene, [Am] _
Jolene
_ [G] I'm begging of you, please [A] don't take my [Am] man
[C] Jolene, Jolene, [G]
Jolene, [Am] Jolene, _ [G] Jolene
Oh, please don't take him just [Am] because he came
You could [C] have your choice of [G] men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for [C] me, Jolene
_ [Em] [C] Well, I had to have this [G] talk with you
My [Am] happiness depends on [G] you
And whatever you decide [Am] to do, Jolene
_ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] Jolene, [Am] Jolene, _ Jolene, [G] Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please [Am] don't take my man _
Jolene, [C] Jolene, [G] Jolene, Jolene, [Am] Jolene _
_ [G] Please don't take him just [Am] because he came
[G] But don't take my _ _ [C] _ _ [G] man, [Am] _
Jolene
[G] I'm begging of you, please don't [Am] take my man
Jolene, [C] Jolene, [G] Jolene, Jolene, [Am] _ _ Jolene
[G] Please don't take him even [Am] though you _ can _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ Jolene
_ Jolene
Come on, a truer song has never been written _
