Greensleeves - Richard Jones

1.

AmCGEm

Alas my love, you do me wrong,

AmE

to cast me off discourteously.

AmCGEm

For I have loved you so long,

AmE7Am

delighting in your company.

Ref.

CGEm

Greensleeves was all my joy,

AmE

Greensleeves was my delight,

CGEm

Greensleeves was my heart of gold,

AmE7Am

and who but my Lady Greensleeves.

2.

I have been readie at your hand,

to grant what ever you would crave.

I have both waged life and land,

your love and good will for to have.

3.

Thy gown was of the grassy green,

thy sleeves of satin hanging by,

Which made thee be our harvest queen,

and yet thou wouldst not love me.

Ref.

4.

Well, I will pray to God on high,

that thou constancy mayst see,

And that yet once before I die,

thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.

Out.

CGEm

Greensleeves, now farewel adue,

AmE

God I pray to prosper thee:

CGEm

For I am stil thy lover true,

AmE7Am

come once againe and love me.
