Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Green grows the laurel,
[F]soft falls [C]the [G]dew
[Am]Sorry [G]was I love when
[F]parting from [Am]you[G][C]
[F]But [G]at [C]our [G]next meet[F]ing [G]I h[F]ope[Dm]
you'll prove [F]true[Am]
And we'll join the green laurel
and the [F]violet so [G]blue[C]
[Am]I

[Verse 2]
once had a sweetheart
but [F]now I have [G]none
He's gone [C]and [G]he's left me
to [F]weep and [Am]to mourn[G]
He's [C]gone and [Em]he's [F]left me
for [Dm]others [F]to see[Am]
I'll soon find another far [F]better
than [G]he

[G][Am][F][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 3]
He [Am]passes my window both
[F]early [G]and late
And the [C]looks that [G]he gives me
would [F]make my [Am]heart [G]break
The [C]looks that [F]he gives me a thousand
[Dm]would [F]kill[Am]
Though hates and detests
me I [F]love that [G]lad still

[Verse 4]
I [Am]wrote him a letter in [F]red [G]rosy lines
He [C]wrote back an [G]answer all
[F]twisted an[Am]d twined[G]
Saying [C]keep your love [F]letters
and [Dm]I'll keep [F]mine[Am]
You write to your love and I'll [F]write to mine

[Verse 5]
often I wonder why
[F]maidens [G]love men
[C]And often I [G]wonder why [F]young
men [Am]love [G]them
But [C]from my own [F]knowledge I [Dm]will
have you [F]know[Am]
The men are deceivers
[F]wherever they [G]go[Am]

[Verse 6]
Green grows the laurel, soft [F]falls the [G]dew
[F]Sorry [C]was I l[G]ove when
[F]parting [Am]from [G]you
But [C]at our next [F]meeting I [Dm]hope
you'll [F]prove [Am]true
And we'll join the green laurel and the [F]violet [G]so blue
