I have an ear for tunes, and I am 97% sure that Greensleeves is not played in LOTR or POTC!. They have some flute-songs in LOTR (Enya sings the theme), and they have some instrumentals in POTC, but I am sure they don't have Greensleeves!.
They play it A Lot around Christmas time!. Maybe you heard it then!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
