JOLENE - Zac Brown Band
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chords by: Glenn Gervais
Tuning: 1/2 step down
Check out the chord chart on this one before playing it. I transcribed it to be
played alone with an acoustic. All chords with the exception of D have fingers 3 and 4
down on the B and e strings. I think this creates a fuller and more complex sound
that goes really well with this song.

[Verse]
G Cadd9 G
Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
G Cadd9
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
Cadd9
Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes
Cadd9 G Cadd9
in the early morning rain
[Verse]
G Cadd9 G
Lately my hands they don't feel like mine
G Cadd9
My eyes been stung with dust and blind
Cadd9
Held you in my arms one time
Cadd9 G D/F#
Lost you just the same
[Chorus]
Em7 G Cadd9 G D/F#
Jolene I ain't about to go
Em7 G Cadd9
strai-ght... It's too late
G Cadd9 G
I found myself face down in the ditch
D
Booze in my hair and blood on my lips
Cadd9
A picture of you holding a picture of me
Cadd9 G D/F#
In the pocket of my blue jeans
Em7 G5 Cadd9
I still don't know what love means
Em7 G5 Cadd9 [ Cadd9 G/B A7sus4 ] D/F#
Still don't know what love means

G Cadd9 G
Been so long since I seen your face
G Cadd9
Or felt a part of this human race
Cadd9
I've been living out of this here suitcase
Cadd9 G Cadd9
for way too long
[Verse]
G Cadd9 G
A man needs something he can hold onto
G Cadd9
A nine pound hammer or a woman like you
Cadd9 G D/F#
Either one of them things will do
[Chorus]
Em7 G Cadd9 G D/F#
Jolene I ain't about to go
