[Verse 1]
Em
Alas my love,
D
you do me wrong,
C B7
to cast me off so discourteously,
Em D
for i have loved you so long,
C B7 Em
delighting in your company.
[Chorus]
G D
greensleeves was all my joy,
C B7
greensleeves was my delight,
G D
greensleeves was my heart of gold,
C B7 Em
and who but my lady greensleeves.
[Verse 2]
Thy gown was of the grassy green,
They sleeves of satin hanging by,
Which made thee be our harvest queen,
And yet thou wouldst not love me.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Well, i will pray to God on high,
That thou constancy mayst see,
And that yet once before i die,
Thou will vouchsafe to love me.
