Leonard Cohen - Leaving Green Sleeves

Am G
alas , my love , you did me wrong
F E
to cast me out discourteously
Am G
for i have loved you so long
F E Am
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 G
green sleeves , you’re all alone
Am Em
the leaves have fallen , the men have gone
C G
green sleeves , there’s 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
