[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
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
[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
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
[Outro]
