_ _ _ There [C] are ghosts and [G] memories, loitering still [C] in the corridors of [F] time.
_ [C] There's sorrows, smoke and [G] stories, _ in the barracks of my mind.
And [C] I'm with him, still in [G] the trenches, _ [C] I can see his dark [Fm] brown eyes.
_ [C] His courage gave [G] me courage, when I [Fm] was sure we were going to [F] die.
_ I asked him once, [G] why he volunteered for [C] that hellhole far [F] away.
_ [C] To fight for someone [A] else's king, and [F] the land he took [G] away.
_ He [C] said, one invading [G] mob's too many.
[C] _ Then he walked [F] away, _ [C] I lost him in the crowds [G] waving flags on the side of [F] the road.
My head reached that [C] guy. _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [C] My head reached, [G] and Munda Billa, [C] from Narracourt [Bb] and Perth.
_ [C] First Australian [G] station hangs, [Fm] they were sheer as gang of thots.
[C] And there was no black, and [G] there was no white, just [C] a dirty khaki [Fm] brown.
_ [C] And on our [A] upturned slouch hat brims, we [F] all wore Rising Sun.
_ _ _ Soldier brothers, [G] we're all Australians, [C] we've had no time [F] for race.
_ [Am] And the bullets were running past our heads, [F] we're all just [G] shades of grey.
_ [C] And he kept his medals [G] in their box in a drawer, [C] he kept them well tucked [F] _ away.
[C] Then he'd pull them out, put them [Gm] on, put them back again.

On every [C] Anzac Day.

_ _ [Am] Somalia, Creek, [Em] Capyong, _ _ [F] Murat and the [C] Solomons.

_ When _ _ [C] _ the show [Gm] was over, we made [C] it back to [F] Australia's shores.
_ [C] In Possierres, _ [Gm] _ _ Perliverwood, [F] Benghazi, _ Fremecore.
_ _ _ [C] We drifted [G] back into our lives and [C] we all tried to hide [F] the scars.
_ [C] Of the tears and fears [D] and terrors that [F] still tracked us down the years.
_ _ We tried to join [G] the _ RSL, but [C] the farces wouldn't let [F] him in.
_ _ [C] They didn't see [Am] a soldier, _ [F] just the first Australian.
[G] And _ [C] I wonder what it was [G] we fought for, [Cm] what it was gave [F] away.
_ _ [C] _ Reconciliation [G] still become, _ _ [F] _ _ _
on [C] every [G] [C] Anzac Day.
Every _ [G] Anzac, every _ [C] Anzac, every [F] Anzac Day.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ Every [C] [F] Anzac Day.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Golden sunsets in the evening, _ and dawn lights up [F] the sky.
_ [C] We remember those first [Gm] Australians, _ [F] who joined the force and died.
_ [C] From the mission bush [G] and station country, [C] the town's Torres [F] Strait.
[Dm] _ [C] We remember the fighting [G] first Australians [F] now. _ _
On [C] every Anzac Day. _
