Bitter Green 
 
* 
 
 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. 
 
        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)
