Bitter Green Gordon Lightfoot

CHORUS:
Bitter [D]Green they called her,
[G]Walking in the [A]sun,
[G]Loving every[A]one that she [D]met.
Bitter [D]Green they called her,
[G]Waiting in the [A]sun,
[G]Waiting for some[A]one to take her [D]home.

Lost upon the ocean he died there in the mist,
Dreaming of her kiss.

Kneeling by the churchyard in the autumn mist,
Dreaming of a kiss.
CHORUS:
