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.
