Your beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of auburn hair

With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

       Dm              F5                         C5            Dm
And he talks about you in his sleep, and there is nothin' I can do to keep

From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene

VERSE 2:
Now, I can easily understand how you could easily take my man
But you do not know what he means to me, Jolene
Well, you could have your choice of men, but I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
And I had to have this talk with you, 'cause my happiness, it depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

CHORUS

Dm
