U-  [/] [F] pon the bitter [/] green she walked 
the [/] [Gm7] hills above the [/] town [/]
[/] [F] Echo'd to her [/] footsteps as [/] [Gm7] soft as Eider [/] down [/]
[/] [F] Waiting for her [/] master to [/] [Gm7] kiss away her tears [/] [Gm7] ...
[/] [Gm7] Waiting through the [/] [C] years.

Bitter [/] [F] Green they [/] [Am] called her [/]
[/] [Bb] Walking in the [/] [C] sun [/]
[/] [Bb] Loving every-  [/] [C] one that she [/] [F] met. [/] [F]  
Bitter [/] [F] Green they [/] [Am] called her [/]
[/] [Bb] Waiting in the [/] [C] sun [/]

Some [/] [F] say he was a [/] sailor who [/] [Gm7] died away at [/] sea.
Some [/] [F] say he was a [/] prisoner who [/] [Gm7] never was set [/] free [/]
[/] [F] Lost upon the [/] ocean he [/] [Gm7] died there in the [/] mist [/]
[/] [Gm7] Dreaming of a [/] [C] kiss.

But [/] [F] now the bitter [/] green is gone, the [/] [Gm7] hills have turned to [/] rust.
There [/] [F] comes a weary [/] stranger, his [/] [Gm7] tears fall in the [/] dust. [/]
[/] [F] Kneeling by the [/] churchyard [/] [Gm7] in the autumn [/] mist [/]
[/] [Gm7] Dreaming of her [/] [C] kiss.
