I took a few lessons for guitar at my school when I was ~10. I left because it sucked, and consequently I don't know how to "properly" play guitar. I like tabs.
Well, I'm not familiar with the song, so I don't know the timing but looking at the tablature it doesn't seem too difficult.

I probably should have mentioned that some dude wrote the song "What Child is This" based on the greensleeves tune. I believe greensleeves was written in England around the time of Henry VIII. not sure though Confused

If you want good guitar tabs:

Download the Powertab Editor from http://www.power-tab.net/

Then get your guitar tabs from http://www.powertabs.net/

A most excellent program.

no!!!! powertab is not teh cool.

Actually, I just think powertab sounds weird.

get Guitar Pro, it's the better one. Too bad it's not free, but you can always "purchase it".

The tab looks good for beginners, I started with the simplified version of Ode to Joy, it wasn't that much different from this in terms of difficulty, so yeah, go play guitar.

Those are ones that I could find that actually sounded like Greensleeves.

And actually, Greensleeves is credited to Henry Tudor (Henry VIII), but most likely not written by him.
