Jolene

[Cm]       J[Eb]olene, J[Cm]olene, J[Eb]olene, Jolene,
       I'm b[Eb]egging of you please don't take my [Cm]man.
       Jol[Cm]ene, Jol[Eb]ene, Jol[Cm]ene, Jol[Eb]ene,
       Ple[Eb]ase don't take him just because you c[Cm]an.

The verse is just:  [Cm],[Eb],[Bb],[Cm],[Bb],[Bb],[Am],[Am],[Am],[Am] for [A] bar each.

      [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.)

~~~~~~

Your beauty is beyond compare,
With flaming locks of golden hair,
With iv'ry skin and eyes of emerald green.

~~~~~~

Your smile is like a breath of spring,
Your voice is soft like summer rain,
And I cannot compete with you,
Jolene.

~~~~~~

He talks about you in his sleep,
There's nothing I can do to keep,
>From crying when he calls your name,
Jolene.

~~~~~~

And I can easily understand,
How you could easily take my man,
But you don't know what he means to me,
Jolene.

~~~~~~

Well you can have your choice of men,
But I can never love again,
He's the only one for me,
Jolene.

~~~~~~

I have to have this talk with you,
My happiness depends on you,
Whatever you decide to do,
Jolene.
