-6 7 -8 8-9 8 -8 -7 6 -6 -7 7 -6 -6 6 -6 -7 6 5 A las my love you do me wrong, to cast me off discourteously. -6 7 -8 8-9 8 -8 -7 6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 5 6 -6 -6 -6 And I have loved you so long delighting i n your company. Chorus: 9 9 -9 8 -8 -7 6 -6 -7 7 -6 -6 6 -6 -7 6 5 Greensleeves was all my j o y. Greensleeves was my delight, 9 9 -9 8 -8 -7 6-6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 5 6 6 6 Greensleeves my heart of gold, and who but my la dy Greensleeves. Verse 2: Your vows you've broken, like my heart, Oh, why did you so enrapture me? Now I remain in a world apart but my heart remains in captivity. (Chorus) Verse 3: I have been ready at your hand, to grant whatever you would crave, I have both wagered life and land, your love and good-will for to have. (Chorus) Verse 4: If you intend thus to disdain, it does the more enrapture me, And even so, I still remain a lover in captivity. (Chorus) Verse 5: My men were clothed all in green, and they did ever wait on thee; All this was gallant to be seen, and yet thou wouldst not love me. (Chorus) Verse 6: Thou couldst desire no earthly thing, but still thou hadst it readily. Thy music still to play and sing; and yet thou wouldst not love me. (Chorus) Verse 7: Well, I will pray to God on high, that thou my constancy mayst see, And that yet once before I die, thou wilt vouchsafe to love me. (Chorus) Verse 8: Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu, to God I pray to prosper thee, For I am still thy lover true, come once again and love me. (Chorus) |
