[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
