Intro: GGGGsus2G
I’m singing songs about the ocean
Bm
And every night’s a lullaby
DAm
To the coastal breese and the salty seas
BmDGGsus2G
I’ve never felt so far from home
Gsus2G
And as we cast on through these mountains
Bm
I keep my back to western skies
DAmBm
Where the sun it seems to always sleep
D
Where I wish I was going
Chorus:
CGDD#Em
She’s the sea, she’s the hardest thing to leave
Am7GEm
I wish that she would notice, but the sea will never notice
BCG
Jolene, Jolene, that’s what she sang to me
DD#EmCCm
But it ain’t nothing but her favorite country song
Verse: GGGsus2G
So this old van becomes a vessel
BmA beast of burden and a home
DAm
But those eastern shores are never yours
Bridge:
BmDCD
Where I wish I was going
CDCD
Going going
Chorus:
CGDD#Em
She’s the sea, she’s the hardest thing to leave
Am7GEm
I wish that she would notice, but the sea will never notice
BCG
Jolene, Jolene, that’s what she sang to me
DD#EmCCm
But it ain’t nothing but her favorite country song
GBDD#Em
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
C(Bar) Cm
But it ain’t nothing, no it ain’t nothing
