In the year of '39 assembled here 
the volunteers
        C         G          D
In the days when lands were few
          Em
Here the ship sailed out into the
 C                     D          
Blue and sunny morn, sweetest 
      G
sight ever seen

         D                         
And the night followed day, and the
  B7
 storytellers say
          Em                 Am
That the score brave souls inside
     G                          D
For many a lonely day sailed across 
the milky seas
 C            Em     C    D    
Never looked back, never 
C     G        D
feared, never cried

           G                  
Don't you hear my call, though 
         C          G
you're many years away

Don't you hear me calling you
            G      B7    Em       
Write your letters in the sand for
C    G        Am
 the day I take your hand
        G/B             D         
In the land that our grandchildren
   G
 knew

In the year of '39 came a ship in 
from the blue
          C         G          D
The volunteers came home that day
         Em                    C
And they bring good news of a world 
so newly born
             D4        D        G
Though their hearts so heavily weigh

         D                    
For the earth is old and grey, 
         Eb°
little darling, we'll away
       Em                Am
But my love this cannot be
       G                           
For so many years have gone though 
     D
I'm older but a year
     C         Em  C          D 
Your mother's eyes from your 
    C       G  D
eyes - cry to me

          G                        
Don't you hear my call though 
  C           G
you're many years away
          G               D
Don't you hear me calling you
           G       B7     Em
Write your letters in the sand
G        C    G         Am
For the day I take your hand
       G             D             
In the land that our grandchildren 
G    D
knew

          G                        
Don't you hear my call though 
  C           G
you're many years away
          G               D
Don't you hear me calling you
         G       B7     Em
All your letters in the sand
G       C      G         Am
Cannot heal me like your hand
       Em           D           G
For my life, still ahead, pity me
