Bitter Green
guitar tabs lyrics
Bitter Green:Gordon Lightfoot.
Top of the charts in '68.
#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.
