AbEbFm
In the year of thirty nine assembled here the volunteers
DbAbEb
In the days when lands were few
FmFm7Db
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
Ebsus4EbAb
Sweetest sight ever seen
EbEdim7
And the night followed day and the story tellers say
FmBbm
That the score brave souls inside
AbEb
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
DbFmDbEbDbEb
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried
Chorus:
AbDbAb
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away?
Eb
Don't you hear me calling you?
AbC7FmAbDbAbBbm
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
AbDbEbDbEbAb
In the land that our grandchildren knew

AbEbFm
In the year of thirty nine came a ship in from the blue
DbAbEb
The volunteers came home that day
FmFm7Db
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Ebsus4EbAb
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
EbEdim7
For the Earth is old and grey, little darlin', wellaway
FmBbm
But my love, this cannot be
AbEb
For so many years are gone though I'm older but a year
DbFmDbEbDbEb
Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me
Chorus:
AbDbAb
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away?
Eb
Don't you hear me calling you?
AbC7FmAbDbAbBbm
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
AbDbEbDbEbAbEb
In the land that our grandchildren knew
AbDbAb
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away?
Eb
Don't you hear me calling you?
AbC7FmAbDbAbBbm
All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
FmEbAb
For my life, still ahead, pity me
