Chorus DOm MIb DOm MIb
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
MIb DOm
I'm begging of you please don't take my man.
DOm MIb DOm MIb
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
MIb DOm
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.
