Chords

[Verse 1]
Am                 G
Alas, my love, you did me wrong

F                  E
To cast me out discourteously

Am               G
For I have loved you so long

F         E              Am
Delighting in your very company
[Verse 2]
Am                   G
Now if you intend to show me disdain

F                         E
Don't you know it all the more enraptures me

Am            G
For even so I still remain

F         E              Am
Your lover in captivity
[Chorus]
C                     G
Green sleeves, you're all alone

Am                          Em
The leaves have fallen, the men have gone

C                     G
Green sleeves, there's no one home

Am           E    Am
Not even the Lady Green Sleeves
[Verse 3]
Am                 G
I sang my songs, I told my lies

F                   E
To lie between your matchless thighs

Am                 G
And ain't it fine, ain't it wild

F          E       Am
To finally end our exercise
[Verse 4]
Am                   G
Then I saw you naked in the early dawn

F               E
Oh, I hoped you would be someone new

Am                    G
I reached for you but you were gone

F       E         Am
So lady I'm going too
[Chorus]
C                     G
Green sleeves, you're all alone

Am                          Em
The leaves have fallen, the men have gone

C                      G
Green sleeves, there's no one home

Am           E    Am
Not even the Lady Green Sleeves

C                     G
Green sleeves, you're all alone

Am                          Em
The leaves have fallen, the men have all gone home

C                     G
Green sleeves, it's so easily done

Am           E          Am
I mean, leaving the Lady Green Sleeves
