Am C G Em
Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
Am E
to cast me off discourteously.
Am C G Em
For I have loved you well and long,
Am E7 Am
delighting in your company.
C G Em
Greensleeves was all my joy,
Am E
Greensleeves was my delight
C G Em
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
Am E7 Am
and who but my lady greensleeves.
Am C G Em
Your vows you've broken, like my heart,
Am E
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Am C G Em
Now I remain in a world apart
Am E7 Am
But my heart remains in captivity.
C G Em
I have been ready at your hand,
Am E
To grant whatever you would crave,
C G Em
I have both wagered life and land,
Am E7 Am
Your love and good-will for to have.
Am C G Em
If you intend thus to disdain,
Am E
It does the more enrapture me,
Am C G Em
And even so, I still remain
Am E7 Am
A lover in captivity.
C G Em
My men were clothed all in green,
Am E
And they did ever wait on thee;
C G Em
All this was gallant to be seen,
Am E7 Am
And yet thou wouldst not love me.
Am C G Em
Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,
Am E
But still thou hadst it readily.
Am C G Em
Thy music still to play and sing;
Am E7 Am
And yet thou wouldst not love me.
Am C G Em
Well, I will pray to god on high,
Am E
That thou my constancy mayst see,
Am C G Em
And that yet once before I die,
Am E7 Am
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.
C G Em
Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,
Am E
To god I pray to prosper thee,
C G Em
For I am still thy lover true,
Am E7 Am
Come once again and love me.
