I gave my last chance to you; don't hand it back to me,

Bitterblue, no--, Bitterblue.

Yes, I've done all one man can do; don't pass me up,

Oh, Bitterblue, my Bitterblue.

D                          G         C                  A    D

'Cause I've been running a long time on this travelling ground.

D                  G    C                  A

Wishing hard to be free of going round and round.

     D                  G    C                     F   C   D

Yes, I've been moving a long time, but only up and do--ow--wn.

 

I gave my last hope to you; donÕt hand it back to me,

Bitterblue, my Bitterblue.

IÕve done all one man can do; please help me lose this,

Bitterblue, my Bitterblue.

 

'Cause IÕve been waiting a long time; aeons been and gone.

Looking at the horizon for my light to dawn.

Oh, yes, IÕve been living a long time, looking on and on.

IÕve been running a long time, summers come and gone.

Drifting under the dream clouds, past the broken sun.

Yes IÕve been living a long time to be back beyo--on--nd.

 

I gave my last chance to you; donÕt hand it back,

Bitterblue, my Bitterblue.

IÕve done all one man can do, donÕt pass me up,

Oh, Bitterblue.

My Bitterblue, Bitterblue.

I gave my last chance to you; donÕt hand it back to me, Bitterblue.
