Leaving Green Sleeves chords by Leonard Cohen

Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Novice

A minorAm             G+G
Alas, my love, you did me wrong
FF         E MajorE
To cast me out discourteously
A minorAm          G+G
For I have loved you so long
FF     E MajorE       A minorAm
Delighting in your very company

Now if you intend to show me disdain
Don't you know it all the more enraptures me
For even so I still remain
Your lover in captivity

Chorus:

C majorC           G+G
Green sleeves, you're all alone
A minorAm              E minorEm
The leaves have fallen, the men have gone
C majorC           G+G
Green sleeves, there's no one home
A minorAm      E MajorE      A minorAm

Not even the Lady Green Sleeves
I sang my songs, I told my lies
To lie between your matchless thighs
And ain't it fine, ain't it wild
To finally end our exercise

Then I saw you naked in the early dawn
Oh, I hoped you would be someone new
I reached for you but you were gone
So lady I'm going too
Green sleeves, you're all alone
The leaves have fallen, the men have gone
Green sleeves, there's no one home
Not even the Lady Green Sleeves

Green sleeves, you're all alone
The leaves have fallen, the men have all gone home
Green sleeves, it's so easily done

THE END!
