1. Your beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of auburn hair 
           G5              E5              A5 
      with ivory skin and eyes of emerald green.

    Your smile is like a breathe of spring your voice is soft like summer rain 
     G5            E5                A5 
    And I can not compete with  you Jolene. 
       A5              C5                        G5             A5
    He talks about you in his sleep and there's nothing I can do to keep 
         G5              E5              A5 
    from crying when he calls your name Jolene

       G5                      E5            A5
