Alas my love you do me wrong
Em B7
To cast me off discourteously
Em G D B
For I have loved you well and long
Em B7 Em
Delighting in your company
Chorus:
G D
Greensleeves was all my joy
Em B7
Greensleeves was my delight
G D
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
Em B7 E
And who but my lady greensleeves
Additional Verses
Your vows you've broken like my heart
Oh why did you so enrapture me
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity
I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever you would crave
I have both wagered life and land
Your love and good-will for to have
If you intend thus to disdain
It does the more enrapture me
And even so I still remain
A lover in captivity
My men were clothed all in green
And they did ever wait on thee
All this was gallant to be seen
And yet thou wouldst not love me
Thou couldst desire no earthly thing
But still thou hadst it readily
Thy music still to play and sing
And yet thou wouldst not love me
Well I will pray to God on high
That thou my constancy mayst see
And that yet once before I die
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me
Ah Greensleeves now farewell adieu
To God I pray to prosper thee
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me
