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

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

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

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