Douwe Bob – Black Jolene (Guitar)

C                           Bb
She’s raising cattle, she’s raising bars

Am                         D7
She ain’t got time for the evening stars

C              G          C
She gets up at five every morning

C                  Bb
She’s got a bucket in her hand

Am                     D7
Spilling poison on the neighbour’s land

C               G                    C   C7
Always brings a smile to that pretty face

F                            Em   Em7
She’s gonna put you six feet under

A7          D7             G      G7
She’s gonna put you in the ground

F                                Em     Em7
She’s gonna make you scream blue thunder

F              F   F          C
That girl will surely put you down

C               Bb
In the village, into the church

Am                 D7
Calls a priest and from her curse

C                    G            C 
Hands him the money, walks away redeemed

C                       Bb
They close their doors, they close the blinds

Am                      D7
As she makes her way to Clementine’s

C              G                     C   C7
We’re the only place that serves her here

F                            Em   Em7
She’s gonna put you six feet under

A7          D7             G      G7
She’s gonna put you in the ground

F                         Em    Em7
Somehow I cannot help but wonder

F           F  F         C   
When she is gonna put me down

C       Bb  F        Eb
Black Jolene, why so mean?

C       Gm  F        Ab
Black Jolene, why so mean?

C       Bb  F        Eb
Black Jolene, why so mean?

C       Gm  F        Ab
Black Jolene, why so mean?

C       Bb            F         
Black Jolene, Black Jolene

       Eb           C
Why so mean, why so mean?

        Gm            F
Black Jolene, Black Jolene

       Ab
Why so mean?

C       Bb            F
Black Jolene, Black Jolene

       Eb           C
Why so mean, why so mean?

        Gm            F
Black Jolene, Black Jolene

       Ab
Why so mean?
