Bitter Green
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(D) (Em/D) (D) (Em/D)
U(D)pon the bitter green she walked the (A) hills above the town
(F#m/A) Echo to her footsteps as (Em/A) soft as eider down
(F#m/A) Waiting for her master to (Em/A) kiss away her tears
Waiting through the (A) years
Bitter (D) Green they (D/F#) called her
(G) Walking in the (A) sun
(G) Loving every(A)one that she (D) met
Bitter Green they (D/F#) called her
(G) Waiting in the (A) sun
(G) Waiting for some(A)one to take her (D) home
Some say he was a sailor who died away at sea
Some say he was a prisoner who never was set free
Lost upon the ocean he died there in the mist
Dreaming of her kiss
Bitter Green they called her
Walking in the sun
Loving everyone that she met
Bitter Green they called her
Waiting in the sun
Waiting for someone to take her hand
(A) (G) (F) (C) (G) (A)
But now the bitter green is gone, the hills have turned to rust
There comes a weary stranger, his tears fall in the dust
Kneeling by the churchyard in the autumn mist
Dreaming of a kiss
Bitter Green they called her
Walking in the sun
Loving everyone that she met
Bitter Green they called her
Waiting in the sun
Waiting for someone to take her home
