[Verse 1]
D Em
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
D G
The sweetest sight ever seen.
D D#m
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
[Chorus]
G C
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
G D
Don't you hear me calling you
G B Em
Write your letters in the sand

For the day I take your hand

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
D G
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
D D#m
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

Your mother's eyes from your eyes - cry to me

For the day I take your hand

In the land that our grandchildren knew

Don't you hear my call though you're many years away

Don't you hear me calling you

All your letters in the sand

Can not heal me like your your hand
Em D G
For my life, still ahead, pity me
