E                                         A 
I only play this bar 'cause i know you'll be here 

F#                         B  
They don't like me, i can tell 

E                                     A  
Everyone except the band looks like a rock star 

    F#                  B             A 
And everyone except for you can go to hell 

Chorus 

E    F#   A                            E        B 
Jolene, i wish i played the songs that make you dance 

E                     F#        A  
Cause i know what you mean when you say 

             E   B        A 
We are never anything but free 
A                                  E        B       E 
Is there room out on that wire for me? 

E F# A B 

E                                  A 
I've seen the suicides you used to hang with 

F#                           B 
I know the dirty town you're from 

E                                        A 
And i watched 'em blow away like ash and charcoal 

F#                   B              A 
Far below this crazy diamond you've become 

Chorus 

E    F#   A                            E        B 
Jolene, i wish i played the songs that make you dance 

E                     F#        A  
Cause i know what you mean when you say 

             E   B        A 
We are never anything but free 
A                                  E        B       E 
Is there room out on that wire for me? 

E F# A B (walk up) C 
  
C#                     B           A         E  
You're a stained glass window on a back door screen 
C#                    B           A          B 
You're the things you say and the things you mean 

A                 B          E           A 
You're a New York doll and a Mississippi queen 
F#                    B       A     E 
And you're each sweet mile between, Jolene
