[Verse 1]
AmAlas, my love, you Gdid me wrong
FTo cast me out discEourteously
AmFor I have loved Gyou so long
FDelightingE in your very cAmompany
[Verse 2]
AmNow if you intend to Gshow me disdain
FDon't you know it all the Emore enraptures me
AmFor even so I Gstill remain
FYour loverE in captivity Am
[Chorus]
CGreen sleeves, you're Gall alone
AmThe leaves have fallen, the Emmen have gone
CGreen sleeves, there'sG no one home
AmNot even the ELady AmGreen Sleeves
[Verse 3]
AmI sang my songs, I Gtold my lies
FTo lie between your Ematchless thighs
AmAnd ain't it fine, Gain't it wild
FTo finally Eend our Amexercise
[Verse 4]
AmThen I saw you naked Gin the early dawn
FOh, I hoped you Ewould be someone new
AmI reached for you but Gyou were gone
FSo lady EI'm going Amtoo
[Chorus]
CGreen sleeves, you're Gall alone
AmThe leaves have fallen, the Emmen have gone
CGreen sleeves, there's Gno one home
AmNot even the ELady AmGreen Sleeves
CGreen sleeves, you're Gall alone
AmThe leaves have fallen, the Emmen have all gone home
CGreen sleeves, it's soG easily done
AmI mean, leaviEng the LadyAm Green Sleeves
