Sung to the melody of Dolly Parton's "Jolene"
[Chorus]
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G 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
[Verse]
Am C
Your teeth are sharp, your mouth agape
G Am
Your claws rend flesh, there's no escape
G Em Am
From the judgement of the Eldritch one, Jolene.
Am C
He screams about you in his sleep
G Am
and when he wakes, does naught but weep
G Em Am
in terror of the one they call Jolene
[Chorus]
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G 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
[Verse]
Am C
Blackening the summer skies
G Am
with burning wings and countless eyes
G Em Am
We tremble at the sight of you, Jolene.
Am C
We cower here beneath your gaze
G Am
that sets the earth and sky ablaze.
G Em Am
Have mercy at the end of days, Jolene.
[Chorus]
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G 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
[Verse]
Am C
The foolish who came to defend,
G Am
Their broken minds will never mend,
G Em Am
They fell at the mere sight of you, Jolene.
Am C
I’ve seen beyond that auburn hair
G Am
My eyes have met your vacant stare
G Em Am
And I’ve been told I’m hard to scare, Jolene
[Chorus]
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G 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
[Alternate Chorus]
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G Am
I’m begging of you, please don’t take my mind.
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
G Em Am
Please, Venerable Ancient One, be kind.
