DEm In the year of thirty nine assembled here the volunteers
CGD In the days when the lands were few
EmC And the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
Dsus4DG The sweetest sight ever seen.
DEbdim And the night followed day, and the story tellers say
EmAm The score brave souls inside
GD For so many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
CEmCDCGD Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried
GC Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
GD Don't you hear me calling you
GB7Em Write your letters in the sand
GCGAm For the day I take your hand
GDG In the land that our grandchildren knew

DEm In the year of thirty nine came a ship came from the blue
CGD The volunteers came home that day
EmC And they bring good news from a world so newly born
Dsus4DG Though their hearts so heavily weigh
DEbdim Now the earth is old and grey, little darling we'll away
EmAm But my love this cannot be
GD For so many years have gone now I'm older but a year
CEmCDCGD Your mother's eyes from your eyes - cry to me
GC Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
GD Don't you hear me calling you
GB7Em Write your letters in the sand
GCGAm For the day I take your hand
GDG In the land that our grandchildren knew
GC Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
GD Don't you hear me calling you
GB7Em All your letters in the sand
GCGAm Can not heal me like your your hand
EmDG
