##1.
[Em]Up..[D]on the bitter green she walked,
the [A]hills above the town,
[F#m]Echo'd to her footsteps as [Em]soft as Eider down.
[F#m]Waiting for her master to [Em]kiss away her tears,
Waiting through the [A]years.
CHORUS:
Bitter [D]Green they called her,
[G]Walking in the [A]sun,
[G]Loving every[A]one that she [D]met.
Bitter [D]Green they called her,
[G]Waiting in the [A]sun,
[G]Waiting for some[A]one to take her [D]home.
#2.(chords are same for other verses)
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 her kiss.
CHORUS:
But now the 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.
CHORUS:
Bitter green...
