Intro:

E B C#m A B
E B C#m A


Verse 1:
  B     E          B
My name is Jolene, but I hate that song
          C#m       A
I was baptized in a river when I was young
   B    E           B
And Jesus forgives me for all of my sins
         A    B    E
'Cept maybe that one when we were kids

Verse 2:
        E          B
Came from south Texas' killer party scene
       C#m         A
Somehow, the wanting turned to a needing
       E           B
Had a decent boyfriend 'til he got mean
        A       B      E
He'd hit me so hard that the room used to spin


Chorus:
 C#m      A         E       B
So, say that you love me before we both end up in hell
    C#m       A
I'm not asking for your forgiveness
      E         B
I couldn't run if I wanted to now
       E    B
Say that you miss me
    C#m         A
Tell me sweet, sweet little lies
B     A
Humor me, Vincent
   A          B     E
After tonight, I won't be home for a while

B C#m A


Verse 3:
B      E         B
I would fly solo to the rodeo dance
       C#m           A
And cover my bruises in a Maybelline mask
       E             B
Wait 'til he passed out, he did it most nights
        A       B      E
I'd go to meet Vincent and to come back to life



Verse 4:
      E            B
And nobody knew, but inside I would break
           C#m               A
There was always this screaming, in between, I'd just wait
       E             B
One night, I suppose, finally drove me insane
       A     B      E
I stabbed him once and I stabbed him again


Chorus:
  C#m      A         E       B
So, say that you love me before we both end up in hell
    C#m        A
I'm not asking for your forgiveness
      E         B
I couldn't run if I wanted to now
       E     B
Say that you miss me
    C#m         A
Tell me sweet, sweet little lies
B     A
Humor me, Vincent
   A          B     E
After tonight, I won't be home for a while

B C#m A


Bridge:
     C#m          A
I used to love the smell of the carnival
    E            B
How the tilt-a-whirl setting us free
  C#m         A
I'm sure gonna miss the summer
    E             B
How the lights used to light up in me
       E    B
But I better go
     C#m           A
Vincent, I love you more than you know
  (B)      A
God bless you, old friend
          A     B    E
I don't think that I'll ever see you again

B C#m A

Outro:
  B     E          B
My name is Jolene, but I hate that song
          C#m       A
