This Bitter Earth Chords by Dinah Washington

[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _
[C#] This bitter earth, _ _ _ [G#] well, [C#] what fruit it bears.
_ _ _ What [F#] good is love _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] that no one shares?
_ _ _ _ [D#m] _
[C#] And if my life _ is like the dust _
[F#] that hides the [F] glow of a rose,
[A#m] What good am I?
_ [D#] _ _ Heaven [D#m] only knows.
_ [G#] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ [Fm] Long are the [C#] days, [C] _ _
[Fm] _ _ [C#] _ and it be so cold, [F#] _
_ _ you will find me old. _
_ [A] _ [C#] _ [D#m] _ [F#m] You're old, [C#] but while I'm old, _ within me close, _
[F#] _ _ I'm sure someone [F] may answer my call.
[A#m] And this bitter earth _ [D#] may not _
[D#m] be so bitter [G#] after [C#] all. _
