Verse

Em D

Alas, my love you will do me wrong

Em Bm

if you cast me off so discourteously

Em D

And I have loved you so very long,

Em B7 Em

and delighting in your winning company

Chorus

G D

Greensleeves, you were all my joy

Em Bm

and you know Greensleeves you were my delight

G D

Greensleeves your my heart of gold

Em B7 Em

No one else but my dear Lady Greensleeves.

2. I have been ready and at your hand

For to grant whatever your heart would crave

And I have waged both my life and land

Your dear love and your good will to hold and have.

3. I bought thee kerchers to 'dorn thy head

That were wroght so fine and gallantly

I kept thee well both at board and bed

Which did cost my own purse so well favoredly.

4. I bought thee petticoats of the best

With a cloth so fine and as soft as might be

I gave thee jewels for thine own chest

And yet all of this cost I did spend on thee

5. Well I will say my courage is high

So that my constancy mayest see

And that yet once more before I die

Thou so surely wilt vouch safe love to me

6. Greensleeves now farewell adieu adieu

For I hope that you will prosper thee

For I am still thy one friend true

Come to me once again and do love me
