[Chorus]
G                C      D     D#dim    Em
Green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew
G        C       Em          C
Sorry am I to be parted from you
G        C      D   D#dim    Em
Sorry am I that you proved untrue
        G                 C              D         G
And you changed the green laurel for the violet so blue



[Verse 1]
    D                          Em
You walked past my window both early and late
    C                           Am            D    Dsus D
The looks that you give me they make my heart break
    G              C            D      D#dim Em
The looks that you give me they caused me to rue
         G                 C              D         G
That you changed the green laurel for the violet so blue

Green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew
G        C       Em          C
Sorry am I to be parted from you

Sorry am I that you proved untrue
        G                 C              D         G
And you changed the green laurel for the violet so blue


[Verse 3]
  D                     Em
I wrote her a letter, a few rosy lines
   C                   Am          D     Dsus D
He wrote me letter all twisted and twined
G            C             D    D#dim    Em
You write to your love and I'll write to mine
G              C              D              G
You stick with your love and I'll stick with mine

And you changed the green laurel for the violet so blue
