Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
G C
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane

Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes

in the early morning rain

My eyes been stung with dust and blind
C C
Held you in my arms one time
C G G D/F#
Lost you just the same
CHORUS:
Em G C G D/F#
Jolene... I ain't about to go
Em G C C
strai-ght... It's too late
G C/G G
I found myself face down in a ditch
D D
Booze in my hair and blood on my lips
C C
A picture of you holding a picture of me
C G G D/F#
In the pocket of my blue jeans
Em G C C
I still don't know what love means

Been so long since I seen your face
G G7 C
Or felt a part of this human race

I've been living out of this here suitcase
C G
for way too long
