I'm not exactly sure what key this song is in.
So I guessed.
1. [E]Little Jolena [A]My dark haired d[E]arlin'
Skin of ivory A[B7]ngel e[E]yes
All the boys in Louisana W[A]anted her sw[E]eet love
But she swore on the Bible [B7]She was mine, all [E]mine
(Chorus)
H[E]ey little did [B]I know [A]She was wild as a b[E]ayou
Catch a man on a c[B]ane pole H[A]ang his heart on the l[E]ine
I thought I could h[B]old her [A]Me, oh, [E]my [A]oh,
Little did I k[E]now She h[B]ad bigger fish to [E]fry
2. My brother tried to warn me Momma she scorned me
My friends all told me I was under her spell
But I wouldn't listen I was love sick
Without Jolena Life would be living hell
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
[E]At the c[F#]hurch in the wildwood Standin' at the altar
L[B]ittle Jolena never showed I h[F#]eard later on she left with a dandy
And h[D]eaded down to M[E]exico
(Repeat Chorus)
