"Black Jolene"

Verse 1:

C                           Bb
She’s raising cattle, she’s raising bars
Am                         D7
She ain’t got time for the evening stars
C              G          C
She gets up at five every morning
C                  Bb
She’s got a bucket in her hand
Am                     D7
Spilling poison on the neighbour’s land
C               G                    C   C7
Always brings a smile to that pretty face

Chorus:

F                            Em   Em7
She’s gonna put you six feet under
A7          D7             G      G7
She’s gonna put you in the ground
F                                Em     Em7
She’s gonna make you scream blue thunder
F              F   F          C
That girl will surely put you down

Verse 2:

C               Bb
In the village, into the church
Am                 D7
Calls a priest and from her curse
C                    G            C
Hands him the money, walks away redeemed
C                       Bb
They close their doors, they close the blinds
Am                      D7
As she makes her way to Clementine’s
C              G                     C   C7
We’re the only place that serves her here

Chorus:

F                            Em   Em7
She’s gonna put you six feet under
A7          D7             G      G7
She’s gonna put you in the ground
F                         Em    Em7
Somehow I cannot help but wonder
F           F  F         C
When she is gonna put me down

C       Bb  F        Eb

Black Jolene, why so mean?
C       Bb  F        Eb
Black Jolene, why so mean?

Black Jolene, why so mean?

C       Bb            F
Black Jolene, Black Jolene
       Eb           C
Why so mean, why so mean?
        Gm            F
Black Jolene, Black Jolene
       Ab
Why so mean?

C       Bb            F
Black Jolene, Black Jolene
       Eb           C
Why so mean, why so mean?
        Gm            F
Black Jolene, Black Jolene
       Ab
Why so mean?
