Leaving Green Sleeves Leonard Cohen
[Am]Alas, my love, you did me wr[G]ong
[F]To cast me out disc[E]ourteously
[Am]For I have loved you s[G]o long
[F]Delighting[E] in your very c[Am]ompany
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]Green sleeves, you're [G]all alone
[Am]The leaves have fallen, the m[Em]en have gone
[C]Green sleeves, there's[G] no one home
[Am] [E] [Am]
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
I mean, leaving the Lady Green Sleeves
