In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers
        C         G          D
In the days when lands were few
          Em
Here the ship sailed out into the
 C                     D                G
Blue and sunny morn, sweetest sight ever seen

         D                           B7
And the night followed day, and the storytellers 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
Never looked back, never feared, never cried

           G                           C          G
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away
                          D
Don't you hear me calling you
            G      B7    Em       C    G        Am
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
        G/B             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
             D4        D        G
Though their hearts so heavily weigh

         D                             Eb°
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

          G                          C           G
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    D
In the land that our grandchildren knew

          G                          C           G
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
Cannot heal me like your hand
       Em           D           G
For my life, still ahead, pity me
