In the year of ʼ39 assembled here the volunteers
       C         G          D7
In the days when lands were few
         Em          G
Here the ship sailed out into the
C                    G        D7         G
Blue and sunny morn, sweetest sight ever seen.
        D7                          Eb
And the night followed day, and the storytellers say
         Em                   Am
That the score brave souls inside
    G                        D7
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
             C           D7            G  D7
Never looked back, never feared, never cried.

          G                           C            G
Donʼt you hear my call, though youʼre many years away,
          G               D7
Donʼt you hear me calling you
            G      Bm      Em  D7      C      Bm       Am
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
        Bm           D7            G
In the land that our grandchildren knew.

       D7                    Em
In the year of ʼ39 came a ship in from the blue
       C         G          D7
The volunteers came home that day
         Em          G
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
C                    G        D7   G
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
        D7                          Eb
For the earth is old and grey, little darling weʼll away
         Em             Am
But my love this cannot be
    G                        D7
For so many years have gone though Iʼm older but a year
             C           D7            G  D7
Your motherʼs eyes, from your eyes cry to me.

          G                           C            G
Donʼt you hear my call though youʼre many years away
          G               D7
Donʼt you hear me calling you
            G      Bm      Em  D7      C      Bm       Am
All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
       Em          D7         G
For my life, still ahead, pity me.
