In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers
C G D7In the days when lands were few
Em GHere the ship sailed out into the
Blue and sunny morn, sweetest sight ever seen.
D7 EbdimAnd the night followed day, and the storytellers say
Em AmThat the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
C D7 G D7Never looked back, never feared, never cried.
G C G
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away,
G D7Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
Bm D7 GIn the land that our grandchildren knew.

Eb Eb Cm Cm C7 C7 C7 C7 A A A AIn the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey, little darling we'll away
But my love this cannot be
For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes, from your eyes cry to me.
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
For my life, still ahead, pity me.
