        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

    Dsus4    D          G
The sweetest sight ever seen

        D                           Ebdim
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           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
In the land that our grandchildren knew

        D                 Em
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

             Dsus4     D        G
Though their hearts so heavily weigh

         D                             Ebdim
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
[Chorus]
          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
