Bitter Green
*Capo 3rd Fret
D A
Upon the bitter green she walked the hills above the
town.
D A
Echo to her footsteps as soft as eider down.
D A
Waiting for her master to kiss away her tears.
G A
Waiting through the years.
(Chorus)
D
Bitter Green they called her,
G A
Walking in the sun.
G A D
Loving every one that she met.
Bitter Green they called her,
G A
Waiting in the sun.
G A D
Waiting for some one to take her 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 a kiss.
(To Chorus)
But now that 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.
(To Chorus)
