Legend has it that Henry VIII wrote this tune for Anne Boleyn during their courtship (circa 1530). This has never been substantiated and is probably not true. Guitar Arrangement By: Steve J. McWilliam - 1979 Tabbed In TablEdit By: Steve J. McWilliam - 2002 Apologies to those who prefer their 'Greensleeves' just as the standard and original version but I could not help but update it a little and, this is the way I play it - so, here it is. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lyrics (1): Alas, my love you do me wrong To cast me off discourteously And I have loved you so long Delighting in your company Chorus Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my Lady Greensleeves. 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 I bought the kerchers to thy head That were wrought fine and gallantly I kept thee both at board and bed Which cost my purse well favouredly. Chorus Greensleeves, now farewell! adieu! God I pray to prosper thee; For I am still thy lover true Come once again and love me. Chorus ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lyrics (2): Alas, my love, you do me wrong, To cast me off discourteously. For I have loved you well and long, Delighting in your company. Chorus Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. Chorus 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 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 If you intend thus to disdain, It does the more enrapture me, And even so, I still remain A lover in captivity. Chorus 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 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 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 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.
