                          JOLENE - by Dolly Parton

                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  

  

  Chorus:   Cm      Eb      Cm      Eb

         Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,

              Eb                                 Cm

         I'm begging of you please don't take my man.

            Cm      Eb      Cm      Eb

         Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,

            Eb                                   Cm       

         Please don't take him just because you can.

  

  The verse is just:  Cm,Eb,Bb,Cm,Bb,Bb,Am,Am,Am,Am for a bar each.

  

  

  It's easier to play with a capo at the 3rd fret. If you do this, the chords translate as below:

  

        Cm -> Am

        Eb -> C

        Bb -> G

  

  I find this easier to play, and a better sound.

  

  

  Song structure:

   

    Chorus, Verses 1234, Chorus, Verses 56, Chorus (x4)

  

  (This is the way The Sisters of Mercy play it anyway.)

  

  

  

  Verse 1

  ~~~~~~

  

  Your beauty is beyond compare,

  With flaming locks of golden hair,

  With iv'ry skin and eyes of emerald green.

  

  Verse 2

  ~~~~~~

  

  Your smile is like a breath of spring,

  Your voice is soft like summer rain,

  And I cannot compete with you,

  Jolene.

  

  Verse 3

  ~~~~~~

  

  He talks about you in his sleep,

  There's nothing I can do to keep,

  >From crying when he calls your name,

  Jolene.

  

  Verse 4

  ~~~~~~

  

  And I can easily understand,

  How you could easily take my man,

  But you don't know what he means to me,

  Jolene.

  

  Verse 5

  ~~~~~~

  

  Well you can have your choice of men,

  But I can never love again,

  He's the only one for me,

  Jolene.

  

  Verse 6

  ~~~~~~

  

  I have to have this talk with you,

  My happiness depends on you,

  Whatever you decide to do,

  Jolene.
