[Intro]
Em G C
[Verse 1: Belles]
EmBorn into Kentucky smoke
GHis mama was his one hero
CWhen he told me her name
CI wasn't thinking straight
Em'Cause he had emerald eyes and auburn hair
GI shoulda known right then and there
CThis would only Go one way
CI was headed for heartbreak
[Pre-Chorus: Belles]
Em G COoh-ooh, he's just like his mother
CIs it any wonder
[Chorus: Belles, Belles & Dolly Parton]
Em D/F#That I caught him in the dead of night
GWith lipstick on his suit and tie
CHe still denies everything he did to me
Em D/F#I'm just another fool who fell for him
GAnd the vision of what could've been
CBut what was I expecting him to be
EmThe son of Jolene
D/F# G CJolene, Jolene, Jolene
[Verse 2: Belles, Both, Dolly Parton]
Em D/F#Don't think I'll ever love again
G'Cause he's still got me in his hands
CWhile he's holding someone else
CNow I know how Dolly felt (Yeah)
Em D/F#Guess he was never mine to keep
GSo why Do I keep losing sleep
CWhen he's the one to blame
CAnd he's never gonna change
AmIt's written in his DNA
[Chorus: Belles & Dolly Parton, Dolly Parton]
Em D/F#And I caught him in the dead of night
GWith lipstick on his suit and tie
