PJ Harvey - The Colour Of The Earth: chords

D#                     G#   D# G# D#
Louis was my dearest friend
 D#                     G# D# A#m D#
Fighting in the anzac trench.
Fm                 G#
Louis ran forward from the line,
D#                    G# D# G# D#
And i never saw him again.

Later in the dark
I thought I heard Louis' voice
Calling for his mother, then me
But I couldn't get to him

Fm                     G#   Fm G# Fm
He's still up on that hill.
G#                 A#m G# A#m G#
20 years on that hill.
Fm                   G#      A#m  Fm G# Fm
Nothing more than a pile of bones,
G#                   A#m G# A#m
But i think of him still.

If I was asked I'd tell
The colour of the earth that day
It was dull and browny red
The colour of blood, I'd say
