Lauren Bateman teaches Dolly Parton's "Jolene" with capo on the 4th fret. The chorus uses A minor, C, and G, with a down-down-down-up-down strumming pattern. She walks through the timing and sings it so you hear how it lands.

A minor (Am), C, and G.

Down, down, down, up, down (counted as 1, 2, and a 3, 4, and).
All right. I have a great song here by Dolly Parton called Jolene. I have the capo on the fourth fret of my guitar. The chords we're going to be using for this chorus section are an A minor, a C chord, and a G chord. Now, the first three chords are two beats each, so it's 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2,. Then four beats on a minor. All right? And the strumming pattern we're going to be using is 1, 2, and a 3, 4, and a down, down, down, up, down.
2 and a 3, 4. Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene? I'm begging you, please don't take my man? Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene? Please don't take him Just because you can.
