(Am)Alas, my love, you (G)did me wrong
(F)To cast me out dis(E)courteously
(Am)For I have loved you (G)so long
(F)Delighting (E)in your very (Am)company

(Am)Now if you intend to show (G)me disdain
(F)Don't you know it all the more (E)enraptures me
(Am)For even so I (G)still remain
(F)Your lover (E)in cap(Am)tivity

(C)Green sleeves, you're (G)all alone
(Am)The leaves have fallen, the (Em)men have gone
(C)Green sleeves, there's (G)no one home
(Am)Not even the (E)Lady (Am)Green Sleeves

(Am)I sang my songs, I (G)told my lies
(F)To lie between your (E)matchless thighs
(Am)And ain't it fine, (G)ain't it wild
(F)To finally (E)end our (Am)exercise

(Am)Then I saw you naked in (G)the early dawn
(F)Oh, I hoped you would be (E)someone new
(Am)I reached for you but (G)you were gone
(F)So lady (E)I'm (Am)going too

(C)Green sleeves, you're (G)all alone
(Am)The leaves have fallen, the (Em)men are gone
(C)Green sleeves, there's (G)no one home
(Am)Not even the (E)Lady (Am)Green Sleeves

(C)Green sleeves, you're (G)all alone
(Am)The leaves have fallen, the men have (Em)all gone home
(C)Green sleeves, it's so (G)easily done
(Am)I mean, leaving the (E)Lady (Am)Green Sleeves

Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
