                G                 Em                     Am
      with ivory skin and eyes of emerald green.

    Your smile is like a breathe of spring your voice is soft like summer rain
     G                       Em              Am
    And I can not compete with Jolene.

               G                    Em                    Am
    from crying when he calls your name Jolene
    Am                        C                     G                      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
