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
