  C
Upon the Bitter Green she walked,
     G
the hills above the town.
 Em
Echoed to the footsteps,
    Dm
as soft as eider down.
 Em
Waiting for her master,
    Dm
to kiss away her tears.
                     G
Waiting through the years...

         C
Bitter Green they called her,
 F              G
walking in the sun,
 F          G             C
Loving everyone that she met.
         C
Bitter Green they called her,
 F              G
waiting in the sun,
 F              G                C
waiting for someone to take her home.

      C
Some say he was a sailor,
     G
who died away at sea,
      Em
Some say he was a prisoner,
    Dm
who never was set free,
 Em
lost upon the ocean,
    Dm
he died there in the mist,
               G
dreaming of a kiss,

         C
Bitter Green they called her,
 F              G
walking in the sun,
 F          G             C
Loving everyone that she met.
         C
Bitter Green they called her,
 F              G
waiting in the sun,
 F              G                C
waiting for someone to take her home.

     C
But now, that Bitter Green is gone,
     G
the hills have turned to rust,
       Em
there comes a weary stranger,
     Dm
his tears fall in the dust,
  Em
kneeling by the churchyard,
 Dm
in the autumn mist,
                 G
dreaming of the kiss,

2x
