Selection chords: Sarah Harris

Am                  G
Alas, my love, you did me wrong
F            E7
To cast me out discourteously
Am              G
For I have loved you so long
F      E7         Am
Delighting in your very company

Now if you intend to show me disdain
Donʼt you know it all the more enraptures me
For even so I still remain
Your lover in captivity

C              G
Green sleeves, youʼre all alone
Am                  Em
The leaves have fallen, the men have gone
C              G
Green sleeves, thereʼs no one home
Am        E7       Am
Not even the Lady Green Sleeves

I sang my songs, I told my lies
To lie between your matchless thighs
And ainʼt it fine, ainʼt it wild
To finally end our exercise

Then I saw you naked in the early dawn
Oh, I hoped you would be someone new
I reached for you but you were gone
So lady Iʼm going too

Green sleeves, youʼre all alone
The leaves have fallen, the men have gone
Green sleeves, thereʼs no one home
Not even the Lady Green Sleeves

Green sleeves, youʼre all alone
The leaves have fallen, the men have all gone home
Green sleeves, itʼs so easily done
I mean, leaving the Lady Green Sleeves
