C F \ C C F \ C G C \ G G C \ G 2x
I gave my last chance to you
C F C G C \ G
Don't hand it back to me bitterblue
G C \ G
No bitterblue
Yes, I've done all one man can do
C F C G C \ G
Don't pass me up oh bitterblue
G C \ G
My bitterblue
Cause I've been running a long time
On this traveling ground
Wishing hard to be free
Of going round and round
Yes I've been moving a long time
But only up and down
I gave my last hope to you

Don't hand it back to me bitterblue

C F C G C \ G
Don t pass me up oh bitterblue

My bitterblue
Cause I've been waiting a long time
Aeons been and gone
Looking at the horizon
For my light to dawn
Oh yes I've been living a long time
Looking on and on
C F \ C C F \ C G C \ G G C \ G 2x
I've been running a long time
Summers come and gone
Drifting under the dream clouds
Summers come and goneD
Past the broken sun
Yes I've been living a long time
To be back beyond
I gave my last chance to you
C F C G C \ G
Don't hand it back to me bitterblue

No bitterblue
Yes, I've done all one man can do
