Intro: C  G  C  G

C                      G
Listen, here's another hard luck 
tune
C                              
Joe lost his job and now he just 
                G
drinks in the afternoon
        C                          
He just sits on the porch, staring 
G
out at the blue
C                                 
Toasting the day, 'til the day 
                  G
goes away, then he's toasting the 
moon
           F                       
Oh, so his wife up and left just a 
G                    C
little too soon, for Joey

                         G
Jolene, she ain't had no easy ride
     C                             
When Joe lost his shit and his 
                            G
heart seemed to split, well she 
stood by his side
    C                         G
And Jolene, well you know she ain't 
no nun
Continues after the ad
    C                           
She drinks in the car and she'll 
dance on the bar and she's still as 
 G
hot as the sun
        F                       
Oh, she hopes and she prays that 
       G
he'll pull it through
            F                    
Oh, how her feelings ebb and flow 
               G              C
just like the rivers do, for Joey

Ponte:

           F
Joey rolls up his sleeve
                 G
I still got your name tattooed
          C
The ink's faded and grey
               Am
But it's still serenading you
      F
And a love so true
        G                     C   
Ah, for me and you, Joe and Jolene
  G   C   G


C                   G
Jolene you're all I ever had
     C                          
It's understood, you're the only 
                   G
thing good, in my world filled with 
bad
  C                     G
Jolene, without you I'm all alone
          C                        
You're my love, you're my wife with
                          G
 you in my life, well I'm always at 
home
                 F                 
Oh, I'll put the bottle down, well 
         G
I'll get straight for you
             F                     
Oh, now that you've come home, 
      G                            
let's celebrate with one or two, to
     C
