I recently noticed that I have been using the wrong chords for this song
for years. I had to change my guitar arrangement to use the proper chords.
Here's the result:

  It certainly has a distinctly more medieval sound to it now.

Yes, very good. It sounds much more Elizabethan now. Maybe with a more 
distinct beat as in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVWhxoIkHtY

Sounds pretty good!  How did you come to realize that you were using the 
wrong chords?

  By watching others play it.

Nitpick: Do you mean listening, or do you actually mean *watching*?

  Videos are usually watched. Listening is part of it.

What I was really enquiring about was whether you noticed that it 
sounded wrong, or you visually saw that they were playing a different 
set of chords.

(I wonder how many popular tunes I play completely wrong? I'm guessing 
it's a large number...)

  In a video I watched, it sounded different. Better. Then I looked which
chords it was using.

Can I bore you with the version of greensleeves that I am most familiar 
with, the one from my favorite red haired lady?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiLe9sspyHQ

(I still find it strange that the only way you can let people listen to 
music is by a link on youtube with some irrelevant graphics on the back. 
There is another version that at least shows the orangesleeve of the 
disk, but that has a horrible sound quality. Ok, there is a short 
excerpt on http://www.quinlanroad.com/explorethemusic/thevisit.asp but 
that sound quality is also much less then the one I am used to. Did they 
deliberately add noise or is it just an extreme low bit rate?).

Green Peas fresh or in ra pods,
And who would nae eat my Green Peas
