Jolene chords

[INTRO]
Am x4

[CHORUS]
Jo[Am]lene, Jo[C]lene, Jo[G]lene, Jo[Am]lene
I'm b[G]egging of you, please don't take my[Am] man
Jo[Am]lene, Jo[C]lene, Jo[G]lene, J[Am]olene
Ple[G]ase don't take him j[Em]ust because you[Am] can

[VERSE 1]
Her bea[Am]uty is bey[C]ond compare
With fl[G]aming locks of au[Am]burn hair
With iv[G]ory skin and e[Em]yes of emerald g[Am]reen
The clo[Am]ser that you [C]get to her
The [G]more those edges [Am]seem to blur
To some[G]thing you can [Em]only call Jol[Am]ene
Her [Am]voice is soft like [C]siren song
But [G]when she smiles, there’s [Am]something wrong
God [G]can’t protect us [Em]from the dread Jo[Am]lene

[CHORUS]
Jo[Am]lene, Jo[C]lene, Jo[G]lene, Jo[Am]lene,
I [G]beg you, children, don’t disturb her [Am]sleep
Jo[Am]lene, Jo[C]lene, Jo[G]lene, Jo[Am]lene,
You[G]’re safe while she s[Em]lumbers in the [Am]deep

[VERSE 2]
We cowe[Am]r here ben[C]eath the gaze
That se[G]ts the earth and [Am]sky ablaze
Have me[G]rcy at the [Em]end of days, Jol[Am]ene
Our sle[Am]ep disturbed by [C]growling breath
Eyes cl[G]osed against the [Am]threat of death
That li[G]es behind the [Em]maw of that Jo[Am]lene
Her [Am]teeth are wide, her [C]mouth agape
Her cla[G]ws rend flesh, there’s [Am]no escape
From ju[G]dgement of the[Em] Eldritch One, J[Am]olene
Blacken[Am]ing the [C]summer skies
With bu[G]rning wings and c[Am]ountless eyes
We [G]tremble at the[Em] thought of you Jo[Am]lene

[CHORUS]
Jo[Am]lene, Jo[C]lene, Jo[G]lene, Jo[Am]lene,
I [G]beg you, children, don’t disturb her [Am]sleep
Jo[Am]lene, Jo[C]lene, Jo[G]lene, Jo[Am]lene,
You[G]’re safe while she s[Em]lumbers in the [Am]deep

[VERSE 3]
Some fo[Am]olish souls tried [C]to defend
But their [G]broken minds 'd no t[Am]ime to mend
They [G]fell at the mere [Em]sight of you, Jo[Am]lene
Befo[Am]re her wrath no [C]foe could stand
Their c[G]orpses piled u[Am]pon the sand
The blo[G]od of gods is [Em]on her hands: Jo[Am]lene
And [Am]as the massa[C]cre began
I saw how [G]easily you [Am]took my man
But you d[G]on’t know what he [Em]meant to me, Jo[Am]lene
He scre[Am]amed about you [C]in his sleep
And [G]when he woke did [Am]naught but weep
In te[G]rror of the [Em]one he called Jo[Am]lene
And [Am]in the end, his [C]poor heart caved
I [G]had to dig a[Am]nother grave
In[G]side the growing [Em]family plot, Jol[Am]ene

[CHORUS]
Jo[Am]lene, Jo[C]lene, Jo[G]lene, Jo[Am]lene,
I beg[G] you, children, don’t disturb her s[Am]leep
Jo[Am]lene, Jo[C]lene, Jo[G]lene, Jo[Am]lene,
You[G]’re safe while she s[Em]lumbers in the [Am]deep

[VERSE 4]
You [Am]could’ve had your [C]choice in men
But [G]I will never [Am]love again
And [G]his demise is [Em]why I’m here Jol[Am]ene
Bliss w[Am]ithers from your [C]awful truth
Gone [G]is the ignor[Am]ance of youth
The [G]unrelenting [Em]mark of you, Jo[Am]lene
I’ve [Am]seen beyond your [C]auburn hair
My e[G]yes have met your [Am]vacant stare
And [G]I’ve been told I’m [Em]hard to scare, Jo[Am]lene

[OUTRO]
Jo[Am]lene, Jo[C]lene, Jo[G]lene, Jo[Am]lene,
I’ve [G]read the books, I’ve [Em]found your weakest [Am]spot
Jo[Am]lene, Jo[C]lene, Jo[G]lene, Jo[Am]lene,
Bef[G]ore you wake, [Em]you’ll be dead and [Am]left to rot
Your [G]head will mark [Em]my family plot, Jo[Am]lene
