Greensleeves Tab par Traditional English

Verse 1:

  Dm    F        C     Am
Alas my love you do me wrong
   Dm             A7
To cast me off discourteously
    Dm     F         C        Am
For I have loved you well and long
  Dm          A7   Dm
Delighting in your company


Chorus:

F                C
Greensleeves was all my joy
Dm               A7
Greensleeves was my delight
F                   C
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
    Dm         A7   D
And who but my lady greensleeves


Verse 2:

     Dm          F      C       Am
Your vows you've broken like my heart
   Dm             A7
Oh why did you so enrapture me
    Dm   F         C     Am
Now I  remain in a world apart
    Dm         A7          Dm
But my heart remains in captivity

(Chorus)

Verse 3:

   Dm       F     C       Am
I have been ready at your hand
   Dm             A7
To grant whatever you would crave
  Dm        F       C        Am
I have both wagered life and land
     Dm            A7          Dm
Your love and good-will for to have

(Chorus)

Verse 4:

   Dm    F         C     Am
If you intend thus to disdain
   Dm            A7
It does the more enrapture me
    Dm   F    C     Am
And even so I still remain
  Dm       A7     Dm
A lover in captivity

(Chorus)

Verse 5:

   Dm       F       C      Am
My men were clothed all in green
    Dm            A7
And they did ever wait on thee
    Dm       F       C     Am
All this was gallant to be seen
    Dm               A7       Dm
And yet thou wouldst not love me

(Chorus)

Verse 6:

     Dm         F      C       Am
Thou couldst desire no earthly thing
    Dm                  A7
But still thou hadst it readily
    Dm    F        C        Am
Thy music still to play and sing
    Dm               A7       Dm
And yet thou wouldst not love me

(Chorus)

Verse 7:

     Dm     F       C      Am
Well I will pray to God on high
     Dm                A7
That thou my constancy mayst see
    Dm       F      C      Am
And that yet once before I die
     Dm        A7      Dm
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me

(Chorus)

Verse 8:

   Dm           F       C     Am
Ah Greensleeves now farewell adieu
   Dm            A7
To God I pray to prosper thee
    Dm   F         C     Am
For I am still thy lover true
     Dm    A7       Dm
Come once again and love me
