Greensleeves

[franco6719]

What are the chords to this thing? I can figure out the melody easily enough, but I need some idea how to harmonize the damned thing? Or is there some chord-melody out there?

Never mind, I found a sort of outline to work with, Thanks anyway.

In Ted Greene's Chord Chemistry he uses 'Green Sleeves' as an example in his chord Melody chapter. It goes through the steps and i think he does a few different versions and stuff.

In actual fact i think i should go check it out again...

Ah, thanks. I was working something for myself. But Ted Green is another matter! I will take a look.

I'm on year two with Teds cord Chemistry and his book on progressions.I
think you can spend a lifetime with his stuff...

Here is a page of Hank garlands version from a book I did. Its only the first page, but he pretty much just repeats the same part throughout the song.

This'll sound pretty far off from jazz, but James Taylor does a nice fingerstyle rendition of Greensleeves as an intro to the song "Something's Wrong" from his first album, check it out.
