Louis was my dearest friend
D5                     G5      D5     D5   A5 D5
Fighting in the anzac trench.

Louis ran forward from the line,
D5                   G5     D5    D5  G5 D5
And i never saw him again.
D5            G5   D5    D5 G5 D5
Later in the dark
D5                        G5     D5    D5 A5 D5
I thought i heard louis' voice
E5               G5
Calling for his mother, then me,
D5                     G5  D5
But i couldn't get to him.

He's still up on that hill.
G5                  A5 G5   G5 A5 G5
  20 years on that hill.
E5                   G5       A5     E5   G5  E5
 Nothing more than a pile of bones,
G5                   A5  G5   G5 A5
 But i think of him still.
D5                  G5   D5   D5 G5 D5
If i was asked i'd tell
D5                            G5   D5    D5  A5  G5
The colour of the earth that day;
E5               G5
It was dull, and browny-red,
D5                         G5   D5   D5 G5 D5
"the colour of blood" i'd say
