D7 D7 Em Em
In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers
C C G G D7 D7
In the days when the lands were few
Em Em G G C C
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
G G D7 D7 G G
The sweetest sight ever seen
D7 D7
And the night followed day
Cdim Cdim
And the story tellers say
Em Em Am Am
That the score brave souls inside
G G D7 D7
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
C C D7 D7 G G D7 D7
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried

G G C C G G
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
G G D7 D7
Don't you hear me calling you
G G Bm Bm Em Em D6 D6 C C Bm Bm Am Am
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
Bm Bm D7 D7 G G
In the land that our grandchildren knew

D7 D7 Em Em
In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
C C G G D7 D7
The volunteers came home that day
Em Em G G C C
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
G G D7 D7 G G
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
D7 D7 Cdim Cdim
For the Earth is old and grey, little darlin' we'll away
Em Em Am Am
But my love this cannot be
G G D7 D7
For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
C C D7 D7 G G D7 D7
Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me

G G C C G G
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
G G D7 D7
Don't you hear me calling you
G G Bm Bm Em Em D6 D6 C C Bm Bm Am Am
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
Bm Bm D7 D7 G G
In the land that our grandchildren knew [Downward stroke G G 4x]
G G C C G G
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
G G D7 D7
Don't you hear me calling you
G G Bm Bm Em Em D6 D6 C C Bm Bm A7 A7
All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
Em7 Em7
For my life
D7 D7
Still ahead
G G
Pity me
