Some say he was a sailor

    Em7/A
Who died away at sea

     Dmaj7/A
Some say he was a prisoner

    Em7/A

home But
D
But now, that Bitter Green is gone

    Em7/A
The hills have turned to rust

      Dmaj7/A
There comes a weary stranger

His tears fall in the dust

Kneeling by the churchyard

In the autumn mist

Dreaming of her kiss
