Cm Eb Cm Eb Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Eb Cm Please don't take him just because you can. The verse is just: Cm,Eb,Bb,Cm,Bb,Bb,Am,Am,Am,Am for a bar each. It's easier to play with a capo at the 3rd fret. If you do this, the chords translate as below: Cm -> Am Eb -> C Bb -> G I find this easier to play, and a better sound. Song structure: Chorus, Verses 1234, Chorus, Verses 56, Chorus (x4) (This is the way The Sisters of Mercy play it anyway.) Verse 1 ~~~~~~ Your beauty is beyond compare, With flaming locks of golden hair, With iv'ry skin and eyes of emerald green. Verse 2 ~~~~~~ Your smile is like a breath of spring, Your voice is soft like summer rain, And I cannot compete with you, Jolene. Verse 3 ~~~~~~ He talks about you in his sleep, There's nothing I can do to keep, >From crying when he calls your name, Jolene. Verse 4 ~~~~~~ And I can easily understand, How you could easily take my man, But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene. Verse 5 ~~~~~~ Well you can have your choice of men, But I can never love again, He's the only one for me, Jolene. Verse 6 ~~~~~~ I have to have this talk with you, My happiness depends on you, Whatever you decide to do, Jolene. Scribed by: Steven Hodgson, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Leeds, England
