Subject: Lyr Add: BITTERSWEET (Alice Gerrard) From: Jim Dixon Date: 30 Oct 18 - 12:48 AM I can do the lyrics; maybe somebody else can work out the chords. I found the recording on Spotify and transcribed this myself: BITTERSWEET As recorded by Alice Gerrard on “Bittersweet” (2013) Hot summer day in my little hometown House needs paint, kind o’ tumbledown Just like me, tryin’ to hold on Bittersweet, bittersweet. Dusty dark room at the top o’ the house Air so still an’ quiet as a mouse Years of my life in a cardboard box Bittersweet, bittersweet. Reached inside for the letters he wrote Handful o’ dust and a trace of hope Should I read ’em, burn ’em, hold ’em close? Bittersweet, bittersweet. Lookin’ at the pictures in my hand Heartstrings pullin’ to beat the band Never gonna feel the same again Bittersweet, bittersweet. Little piece o’ ribbon ’round a lock o’ hair Ticket stubs from the county fair I can still hear the laughter in the air Bittersweet, bittersweet. Funny how the mem’ries come to call When you’re lookin’ at the writin’ on the wall And it breaks my heart to leave it all Bittersweet, bittersweet. |
