In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers 
        C              G         D 
In the days when the lands were few 
          Em                       C 
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn 
     Dsus4    D         G 
The sweetest sight ever seen.  
          D                           Ebdim 
And the night followed day, and the story tellers 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      C       G      D 
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried
[Estribillo]
           G                          C 
Don't you hear my call though 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                G 
In the land that our grandchildren 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 
           Dsus4        D        G 
Though their hearts so heavily weigh  
          D                           Ebdim 
For the earth is old and grey, little darling, we'll away 
        Em              Am 
But my love this cannot be 
        G                               D 
For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year 
      C      Em     C    D          C       G      D 
Your mother's eyes from your eyes - cry to me
[Estribillo]
           G                          C 
Don't you hear my call though 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                G 
In the land that our grandchildren knew
[Outro]
           G                          C 
Don't you hear my call though 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 
Can not heal me like your your hand 
        Em          D           G 
For my life, still ahead, pity me  
  G D   Em C   Cmaj7   D     G
