G              D
It's hard for me to lie to you
C                 G
She comes home to me
       C
And we lay awake

Til morning breaks
D
Discussing poetry

G                 D
Jolene, we almost never met
     C                   G
Then where would we both be?
        C                         
We'd be drowning in a sea of wealth
    D
Six figures of misery

Chorus:        
        Em        C           G     C G
Take it easy, I'm new at this Jolene
        Em         C              G    C G
Make it easier for me to turn and leave
       Em           C              G       C G
When I walk away, I find I've been replaced
         Em                  C              G    C G
Now he's in your thoughts en route to outer space

         G             D
And it's hard to go to bed with you
      C                  G
Still running through my mind
        C               
But you make it so much easier
   D
To leave it all behind

    G               D
And then you fly me to the moon
      C               G
While singing country songs
        C
I would lie in bed til morning breaks
      D
If it weren't for my alarm

Chorus:
        Em        C           G     C G
Take it easy, I'm new at this Jolene
        Em         C              G    C G
Make it easier for me to turn and leave
       Em           C              G       C G
When I walk away, I find I've been replaced
         Em                  C              G     C    G
Now he's in your thoughts en route to outer space again

        Em      C                 G  C G
Make it easy my darling, don't be shy
        Em            C                   G   C G
Light a cigarette and then you close your eyes
       Em           C              G       C G
When I walk away, I find I've been replaced
         Em             C              G    C G
Now he's in your bed en route to outer space
