[Verse 1]
                 D              G
Oh, I once had a true love that I 
called my own
                   C           G  
Now she's gone and left me and I'm
      D
 all alone
G              D          G
She's gone and left me contented 
must be
           C          D           G
She loves another far better than me


[Chorus]
                         C      
And it's green grows the laurel, 
 G
soft falls the dew
         C           G           D
Sorry am I love, I'm parted with you
G        C          G
Sorry am I love, contented must be
           C          D           G
She loves another far better than me

G  Am  D  G


[Verse 2]
                  D           G
Oh, I pass by her window both early 
and late
                      C           
But the look that she gsve me, it 
G            D
did my heart break
                  D             G
The look that she gave me would ten 
thousand kill
              C             D     
She's found a new love, but I love
     G
 her still


[Chorus]
                         C      
And it's green grows the laurel, 
 G
soft falls the dew
         C           G           D
Sorry am I love, I'm parted with you
G        C          G
Sorry am I love, contented must be

[Verse 3]
              D         G
I wrote her a letter in grand rosy 
lines
                     C         
But she sent back an answer all 
 G           D
twisted and twines
       G              D      
Sayin' keep your love letters, 
         G
you're wastin' your time
             C             D  
You write to your love and I'll 
           G
write to mine


[Chorus]
                         C      
And it's green grows the laurel, 
 G
soft falls the dew
         C           G           D
Sorry am I love, I'm parted with you
G        C          G
Sorry am I love, contented must be
           C          D           G
She loves another far better than me

G  Am  D  G


[Verse 4]
                 D          G
Now I oftimes do wonder why women 
love men
              C          G         
And I also do wonder why they love 
D
them
    G         D           G
For women are fearful and kind as 
you know
              C           D       
And men are deceivers wherever 
  G
they go


[Chorus]
                         C      
And it's green grows the laurel, 
 G
soft falls the dew
         C           G           D
Sorry am I love, I'm parted with you
G        C          G
Sorry am I love, contented must be
           C          D           G
She loves another far better than me

G  Am  D  G
