Dm Dm               C         Am
    Oh a family of bards   a travelling went

Dm                 Dm              A     A
   to distant lands    a singing sweet

Dm                       Dm      C              Am
   with pipes and strings    and an open heart,

Bb                             A  Dm               Dm
   just to wish their brothers       the good life.
[Chorus]
F      F         C       Am
Greensleeves was all our joy

Dm     Dm        A      A
Greensleeves was our delight

F      F          C        Am
Greensleeves our heart of gold

     Bb          A      Dm   Dm
And who but our noble Greensleeves.
[Verse 2]
Dm                    Dm                C             Am
   In "Dante's" land,    oh there they marble strong,

Dm                      Dm    A     A
   to see this celtic bloods    sincerety,

Dm        Dm          C         Am
   a look    a smile    even a tiny gift

Bb                   A    Dm               Dm
   and turned their backs    though curtesely.
[Chorus]
F      F         C       Am
Greensleeves was all our joy

Dm     Dm        A      A
Greensleeves was our delight

F      F          C        Am
Greensleeves our heart of gold

     Bb          A      Dm   Dm
And who but our noble Greensleeves.
[Verse 3]
Dm       Dm               C            Am
   Then come to the city     of a waltz  they say:

Dm  Dm                        A    A
      "There they'll love you     passionately".

Dm         Dm                       C       Am
   But in truth they were given no time and even scorned,

Bb          A            Dm             Dm
   for the city of music   is gone for gold.
[Chorus]
F      F         C       Am
Greensleeves was all our joy

Dm     Dm        A      A
Greensleeves was our delight

F      F          C        Am
Greensleeves our heart of gold

     Bb          A      Dm   Dm
And who but our noble Greensleeves.
[Verse 4]
Dm                      Dm  C                Am
   So they danced their way    though scared   and pained

Dm     Dm              A                  A
   to Shiller's sweet haven  and dearest folk

Dm           Dm                   C                      Am
   and at last  they were watched    with wondering love,

Bb                  A               Dm           Dm
   and that lifted    this family's    saddened heart.
[Chorus]
F      F         C       Am
Greensleeves was all our joy

Dm     Dm        A      A
Greensleeves was our delight

F      F          C        Am
Greensleeves our heart of gold

     Bb          A      Dm   Dm
And who but our noble Greensleeves.
