Version 1I'm not great at tabs but I didn't see one out there yet and this song is really simple but amazing so figured I'd make one. Overall an easy song but just be mindful of the little B thrown in after the main 4 chords of E B C#m and A (sutble in most parts and better heard on the piano but still there). I also like to play the B and the C#m as just the sustain versions X244XX and X466XX. Played in 6/8 time signature. [Intro] E B C#m A B E B C#m A [Verse 1] B E B My name is Jolene, but I hate that song C#m A I was baptized in a river when I was young B E B And Jesus forgives me for all of my sins A B E 'Cept maybe that one when we were kids [Verse 2] E B Came from south Texas' killer party scene C#m A Somehow, the wanting turned to a needing E B Had a decent boyfriend 'til he got mean A B E He'd hit me so hard that the room used to spin [Chorus] C#m A E B So, say that you love me before we both end up in hell C#m A I'm not asking for your forgiveness E B I couldn't run if I wanted to now E B Say that you miss me C#m A Tell me sweet, sweet little lies B A Humor me, Vincent A B E After tonight, I won't be home for a while B C#m A [Verse 3] B E B I would fly solo to the rodeo dance C#m A And cover my bruises in a Maybelline mask E B Wait 'til he passed out, he did it most nights A B E I'd go to meet Vincent and to come back to life [Verse 4] E B And nobody knew, but inside I would break C#m A There was always this screaming, in between, I'd just wait E B One night, I suppose, finally drove me insane A B E I stabbed him once and I stabbed him again [Chorus] C#m A E B So, say that you love me before we both end up in hell C#m A I'm not asking for your forgiveness E B I couldn't run if I wanted to now E B Say that you miss me C#m A Tell me sweet, sweet little lies B A Humor me, Vincent A B E After tonight, I won't be home for a while B C#m A [Bridge] C#m A I used to love the smell of the carnival E B How the tilt-a-whirl setting us free C#m A I'm sure gonna miss the summer E B How the lights used to light up in me E B But I better go C#m A Vincent, I love you more than you know (B) A God bless you, old friend A B E I don't think that I'll ever see you again B C#m A [Outro] B E B My name is Jolene, but I hate that song C#m A I was baptized in a river when I was young
