Greensleeves

Am C G Em Am C G Em
Alas, my love, you do me wrong, If you intend thus to disdain,
Am E Am E
To cast me off discourteously. It does the more enrapture me,
Am C G Em Am C G Em
For I have loved you well and long, And even so, I still remain
Am E7 Am Am E7 Am
Delighting in your company. A lover in captivity.

Greensleeves was my heart of gold, Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
Am E7 Am Am E7 Am
And who but my lady greensleeves. And who but my lady greensleeves.

Am C G Em Am C G Em
Your vows you've broken, like my heart, The petticoat of sendle white,
Am E Am E
Oh, why did you so enrapture me? With gold embroidered gorgeously;
Am C G Em Am C G Em
Now I remain in a world apart The petticoat of silk and white
Am E7 Am Am E7 Am
But my heart remains in captivity. And these I bought gladly.

Am C G Em Am C G Em
I have been ready at your hand, Thy gown was of the grassy green,
Am E Am E
To grant whatever you would crave, They sleeves of satin hanging by,
Am C G Em Am C G Em
I have both wagered life and land, Which made thee be our harvest queen,
Am E7 Am Am E7 Am
Your love and good-will for to have. And yet thou wouldst not love me.

 Am C G Em Am C G Em
My men were clothed all in green, Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,
Am E Am E
And they did ever wait on thee; To God I pray to prosper thee,
Am C G Em Am C G Em
All this was gallant to be seen, For I am still thy lover true,
Am E7 Am Am E7 Am
And yet thou wouldst not love me. Come once again and love me.

but still thou hadst it readily.

And yet thou wouldst not love me.

Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.
