Verse
E D
She’s raising cattle, she’s raising bars
C#m F#7
She ain’t got time for the evening stars
E B E
She gets up at five every morning
E D
She’s got a bucket in her hand
C#m F#7
Spilling poison on the neighbour’s land
E B E E7
Always brings a smile to that pretty face
[Chorus]
A G#m G#m7
She’s gonna put you six feet under
C#7 F#7 B B7
She’s gonna put you in the ground
A G#m G#m7
She’s gonna make you scream blue thunder
A A A E
That girl will surely put you down
[Verse 2]
E D
In the village, into the church
C#m F#7
Calls a priest and from her curse
E B E
Hands him the money, walks away redeemed
E D
They close their doors, they close the blinds
C#m F#7
As she makes her way to Clementine’s
E B E E7
We’re the only place that serves her here
[Chorus]
A G#m G#m7
She’s gonna put you six feet under
C#7 F#7 B B7
She’s gonna put you in the ground
A G#m G#m7
Somehow I cannot help but wonder
A A A E
When she is gonna put me down
E D A G
Black Jolene, why so mean?
E Bm A C
Black Jolene, why so mean?
E D A G
Black Jolene, why so mean?
E Bm A C
Black Jolene, why so mean?

Black Jolene, Black Jolene
G E
Why so mean, why so mean?
Bm A
Black Jolene, Black Jolene
C
Why so mean?
E D A
Black Jolene, Black Jolene
G E
Why so mean, why so mean?
Bm A
Black Jolene, Black Jolene
C
Why so mean?
