Verse
B A
She’s raising cattle, she’s raising bars
G#m C#7
She ain’t got time for the evening stars
B F# B
She gets up at five every morning
B A
She’s got a bucket in her hand
G#m C#7
Spilling poison on the neighbour’s land
B F# B B7
Always brings a smile to that pretty face
[Chorus]
E D#m D#m7
She’s gonna put you six feet under
G#7 C#7 F# F#7
She’s gonna put you in the ground
E D#m D#m7
She’s gonna make you scream blue thunder
E E E B
That girl will surely put you down
[Verse 2]
B A
In the village, into the church
G#m C#7
Calls a priest and from her curse
B F# B
Hands him the money, walks away redeemed
B A
They close their doors, they close the blinds
G#m C#7
As she makes her way to Clementine’s
B F# B B7
We’re the only place that serves her here
[Chorus]
E D#m D#m7
She’s gonna put you six feet under
G#7 C#7 F# F#7
She’s gonna put you in the ground
E D#m D#m7
Somehow I cannot help but wonder
E E E B
When she is gonna put me down
B A E D
Black Jolene, why so mean?
B F#m E G
Black Jolene, why so mean?
B A E D
Black Jolene, why so mean?
B F#m E G
Black Jolene, why so mean?
B A E
Black Jolene, Black Jolene
D B
Why so mean, why so mean?
F#m E
Black Jolene, Black Jolene
G
Why so mean?
B A E
Black Jolene, Black Jolene
D B
Why so mean, why so mean?
F#m E
Black Jolene, Black Jolene
G
Why so mean?
