   (Capo 3rd fret.)

#1.
Em  D                         
Up..on the bitter green she walked, 
    A
the hills above the town,
F#m                        Em
Echo'd to her footsteps as soft as Eider down.
F#m                       Em
Waiting for her master to kiss away her tears,
                    A
Waiting through the years.

CHORUS:
       D
Bitter Green they called her,
G              A
Walking in the sun,
G           A            D
Loving everyone that she met.
       D
Bitter Green they called her,
G              A
Waiting in the sun,
G               A               D
Waiting for someone to take her 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:

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
