The Colour of the Earth

guitar chords lyrics

PJ Harvey

Album : Let England Shake 2011 PlayStop



Notice that the album version they use a capo in the first fret.
When it's played live, they don't use it.



D G D D G D
Louis was my dearest friend
D G D D Am D
Fighting in the anzac trench.
Em G

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.
D G D (x3)

Em G Em Em G Em
He's still up on that hill.
G Am G G Am G
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.
D G D D G D
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
Em G Em (x2)
G Am G (x2)
Em G Em (x2)
G Am G
G Am G D
