Top of the charts in '68.
(Capo 3rd fret.)
#1.
EmUp..Don the bitter green she walked,
the Ahills above the town,
F#mEcho'd to her footsteps as Emsoft as Eider down.
F#mWaiting for her master to Emkiss away her tears,
Waiting through the Ayears.
CHORUS:
Bitter DGreen they called her,
GWalking in the Asun,
GLoving everyAone that she Dmet.
Bitter DGreen they called her,
GWaiting in the Asun,
GWaiting for someAone to take her Dhome.
#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.
