Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Iʼm warnin’ you, donʼt come for my man (Jolene)

Donʼt take the chance because you think you can

Verse:
        Am            C
You’re beautiful, beyond compare
       G                      Am
Takes more than beauty and seductive stares
    G              Em               Am
To come between a family and a happy man
  Am          C
Jolene, Iʼm a woman too
     G                  Am
The games you play are nothing new
     G               Em            Am
So you donʼt want no h?at with me, Jolene
            Am                C
Weʼve been deep in love for twenty years
    G                 Am
I raised that man, I raised his kids
    G                 Em           Am
I know my man better than he knows himself (Yeah, what?)
Am            C
I can easily understand
      G              Am
Why youʼre attracted to my man
      G                            Em                  Am
But you donʼt want this smoke, so shoot your shot with someone else (You heard me)

Chorus:
   Am      C       G       Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
      G                 Em           Am
Iʼm warninʼ you, woman, find you your own man
   Am       C          G      Am
Jolene, I know I’m a queen, Jolene...
              G            Em           Am
I’m still a Creole banjee ***** from Louisianne (Donʼt try me)

Verse:
            Am               C
There’s a thousand girls in every room
      G               Am
That act as desperate as you do
        G             Em               Am
You a bird, Go on and sing your tune, Jolene (What?)
  Am                C
I had to have this talk with you
           G             Am
ʼCause I hate to have to act the fool
       G              Em            Am
Your peace depends on how you move, Jolene

Bridge:
                F            G
Me and my man crossed those valleys
E7                      Am
Highs and lows and everything between
             G                    Em  Dm
Good deeds roll in like tumblinʼ weeds...
   Dm          Em

I know my manʼs gonʼ stand by me, breathinʼ in my gentle breeze (Ah)
    F            G
I crossed those valleys
 E7                     Am
Highs and lows and everything between
                 G                Em  Dm
Good deeds roll in like tumblinʼ weeds...
 Dm      Em
Good and happy
            F                  G
ʼCause you canʼt dig up them planted seeds
   E7            Am

Iʼma stand by her, she will stand by me, Jolene

(Iʼma stand by her, she gonʼ stand by me)
