If you absolutely want to play this on a single guitar, and at least try to include the lick in the refrain, the easiest thing to do is to play it with a capo on the 6th fret, hence the chords below. Otherwise, pick any key and play a regular shuffle with the straight three-chord chords.

Well you're comin' down High Street,
walkin' in the sun
You make the dead man rise,
and holler she's the one

Baby, I am the king and you're the queen
Well it's a long old highway, don't ever end I've got a Saturday night special, I'm back again I'll sleep by your door, lay my life on the line You probably don't know, but I'm gonna make you mine Jolene, Jolene Baby, I am the king and you're the queen
I keep my hands in my pocket, I'm movin' along People think they know, but they're all wrong You're something nice, I'm gonna grab my dice I can't say I haven't paid the price Jolene, Jolene Baby I am the king and you're the queen
Well I found out the hard way, I've had my fill You can't find somebody with his back to a hill Those big brown eyes, they set off a spark When you hold me in your arms things don't look so dark Jolene, Jolene Baby I am the king and you're the queen
