The White Buffalo - Joe and Jolene
INTRO: C G C G
C G
Listen, here's another hard luck tune
C G
Joe lost his job and now he just drinks in the afternoon
C G
He just sits on the porch, staring out at the blue
C G
Toasting the day, 'til the day goes away, then he's toasting the moon
F G C
Oh, so his wife up and left just a little too soon, for Joey
G
Jolene, she ain't had no easy ride
C G
When Joe lost his shit and his heart seemed to split, well she stood by his side
C G
And Jolene, well you know she ain't no nun
C G
She drinks in the car and she'll dance on the bar and she's still as hot as the sun
F G
Oh, she hopes and she prays that he'll pull it through
F G C
Oh, how her feelings ebb and flow just like the rivers do, for Joey
BRIDGE:
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 G C G
Ah, for me and you, Joe and Jolene
C G
Jolene you're all I ever had
C G
It's understood, you're the only thing good, in my world filled with bad
C G
Jolene, without you I'm all alone
C G
You're my love, you're my wife with you in my life, well I'm always at home
F G
Oh, I'll put the bottle down, well I'll get straight for you
F G C
Oh, now that you've come home, let's celebrate with one or two, to Joe and Jolene
