*Capo 3rd Fret 
 
 D5                                     A5 
Upon the bitter green she walked the hills above the town. 
 D5                        A5 
Echo to her footsteps as soft as eider down. 
 D5                         A5 
Waiting for her master to kiss away her tears. 
 G5                    A5 
Waiting through the years.

Bitter Green they called her, 
 G5              A5 
Walking in the sun. 
 G5            A5            D5 
Loving every one that she met. 
  
Bitter Green they called her, 
 G5              A5 
Waiting in the sun. 
 G5           A5                    D5 
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)
