Louis was my dearest friend

Fighting in the anzac trench.

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

He's still up on that hill.

  20 years on that hill. 
Em                   G       Am     Em   G  Em 
 Nothing more than a pile of bones, 
G                   Am  G   G Am 
 But i think of him still.

If i was asked i'd tell 
D                            G   D    D  Am  G 
The colour of the earth that day; 
Em               G 
It was dull, and browny-red, 
D                         G   D   D G D 
'the colour of blood' i'd say
