G             D                         Em
         In the   year of '39.... Assembled here the volunteers

        C        G          D              Em          Em7
In the days when lands were few   Here the ship sailed out into the

C                     Dsus4     D          G
Blue and sunny morn   Sweetest sight ever seen.

     D                           B7(x21201)
And 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.

          G                           C (x32013)           G
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away,

G            C             D
Don't you hear me calling you

               G    B7     Em    Em7       C     G        Am
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand

        G  (A-2h3-)   D (D-2-4) G
In the land that our grandchildren knew.





G    D                    Em
  In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue

   C              G           D
  The volunteers came home that day

   Em          Em7                 C
  And they bring good news of a world so newly born
  
 Dsus4         D                G
  Though their hearts so heavily weigh

     D                             B7
  For the earth is old and grey, little darlin' well 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       C     G     D
  Don't you hear me calling you

    G    B7  Em    Em7         C         G        Am 
  All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand

         Em
  For my life
     D
  Still ahead
    G
  Pity Me.
