  D                                                         A
Upon the Bitter Green she walked the hills above the town 
F#m                                    Em
Echoed to her footsteps as soft as eiderdown 
F#m                                  Em
Waiting for her master to kiss away her tears 
                                A
Waiting through the years 
                       D                                         G                       A
[Chorus]        Bitter Green they called her walking in the sun 
          G                   A                    D
          Loving everyone that she met 
          D                                             G                     A
          Bitter Green they called her waiting in the sun 
          G                         A                         D
          Waiting for someone to take her home 

  D                                              A
Some say he was a sailor who died away at sea 
F#m                                              Em
Some say he was a prisoner who never was set free 
F#m                                 Em        
Lost upon the ocean he died there in the mist 
                        A
Dreaming of a kiss 

[Chorus]

D                                                       A                 
But now the Bitter Green is gone the hills have turned to rust 
F#m                                                       Em  
There comes a weary stranger whose tears fall in the dust 
F#m                                      Em
Kneeling by the churchyard in the autumn mist 
                       A
Dreaming of a kiss 

[Chorus]
