[Intro]
 
Am      C       G       Am      G       Em      Am
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am        C         G      Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
     G               Em           Am
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Am         C      G      Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. Jolene  
G                     Em          Am
Please don't take him just because you can
(Please don't take him even though you can)
 
 
[Verse]
 
     Am           C                  G                  Am
Your beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of auburn hair
      G              Em              Am
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green.
 
      Am                C                     G                   Am
Your smile is like a breath of spring your voice is soft like summer rain
    G           Em               Am
And I can not compete with you Jolene.
 
   Am              C                         G            Am
He talks about you in his sleep and there's nothing I can do to keep
      G              Em               Am
From crying when he calls your name Jolene
 
    Am            C              G                Am
Now I can easily understand how you could easily take my man 
        G                  Em           Am
But you don't know what he means to me Jolene     
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am        C         G      Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
     G               Em           Am
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Am         C      G      Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. Jolene  
G                     Em          Am
Please don't take him just because you can
(Please don't take him even though you can)
 
 
[Verse]
 
Am                  C               G             Am
You can have your choice of men but I could never love again 
G              Em         Am
He's the only one for me Jolene  
 
  Am               C                   G          Am
I had to have this talk with you, my happiness depends on you
       G           Em           Am
And whatever you decide to do Jolene
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am        C         G      Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
     G               Em           Am
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Am         C      G      Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. Jolene  
G                     Em          Am
Please don't take him just because you can
(Please don't take him even though you can)

Sounds good. I would just add to put the capo on 4 if you want to do it in the key of the recording.
