Am C
Your beauty is beyond compare
G E
With flaming locks of auburn hair
G E Am
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring

Your voice is soft like summer rain
G E Am
And I just can't compete with you, Jolene

Am C
He talks about you in his sleep
G E
There's nothing I can do to keep

And I can easily understand

How you could easily take my man
G E Am
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
