Am C G
Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
Am E
To cast me off discourteously.
Am C G
For I have loved you well and long,
Am E Am
Delighting in your company.
Refrain:
G
Greensleeves was all my joy
Am E
Greensleeves was my delight,
G
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
Am E Am
And who but my lady greensleeves.
Am C G
Alas, my love, that you should own
Am E
A heart of wanton vanity,
Am C G
So must I meditate alone
Am E Am
Upon your insincerity.
Ref.
Am C G
Your vows you've broken, like my heart,
Am E
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Am C G
Now I remain in a world apart
Am E Am
But my heart remains in captivity.
Ref.
Am C G
If you intend thus to disdain,
Am E
It does the more enrapture me,
Am C G
And even so, I still remain
Am E Am
A lover in captivity.
Ref.
Am C G
I have been ready at your hand,
Am E
To grant whatever thou wouldst crave;,
Am C G
I have both wagered life and land,
Am E Am
Your love and good-will for to have.
Ref.:
Am C G
Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,
Am E
But still thou hadst it readily.
Am C G
Thy music still to play and sing;
Am E Am
And yet thou wouldst not love me.
Ref.
