In the year of ʼ39 assembled here the volunteers
       C#         G#          D#7
In the days when lands were few
         Fm          G#
Here the ship sailed out into the
C#                    G#        D#7         G#
Blue and sunny morn, sweetest sight ever seen.
        D#7                          E
And the night followed day, and the storytellers say
         Fm                   A#m
That the score brave souls inside
    G#                        D#7
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
             C#           D#7            G#  D#7
Never looked back, never feared, never cried.

          G#                           C#            G#
Donʼt you hear my call, though youʼre many years away,
          G#               D#7
Donʼt you hear me calling you
            G#      Cm      Fm  D#7      C#      Cm       A#m
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
        Cm           D#7            G#
In the land that our grandchildren knew.

       D#7                    Fm
In the year of ʼ39 came a ship in from the blue
       C#         G#          D#7
The volunteers came home that day
         Fm          G#
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
C#                    G#        D#7   G#
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
        D#7                          E
For the earth is old and grey, little darling weʼll away
         Fm             A#m
But my love this cannot be
    G#                        D#7
For so many years have gone though Iʼm older but a year
             C#           D#7            G#  D#7
Your motherʼs eyes, from your eyes cry to me.

          G#                           C#            G#
Donʼt you hear my call though youʼre many years away
          G#               D#7
Donʼt you hear me calling you
            G#      Cm      Fm  D#7      C#      Cm       A#m
All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
       Fm          D#7         G#
For my life, still ahead, pity me.
