Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Leaving Green Sleeves” dari Leonard Cohen:

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Am                            G
Now if you intend to show me disdain
F                                     E
Don't you know it all the more enraptures me
Am                 G
For even so I still remain
F            E             Am
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

[Verse 3]
Am                   G
I sang my songs, I told my lies
F                              E
To lie between your matchless thighs
Am                              G
And ain't it fine, ain't it wild
F              E                     Am
To finally end our exercise

[Verse 4]
Am                           G
Then I saw you naked in the early dawn
F                         E
Oh, I hoped you would be someone new
Am                                   G
I reached for you but you were gone
F           E          Am
So lady I'm going too

[Chorus]

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