[Verse 1]
(G)    D                     Em
In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers
       C         G          D
In the days when lands were few
         Em          Em7          C
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
    Dsus4    D          G
The sweetest sight ever seen.

(G)     D                          D#dim
And the night followed day and the story tellers say
         Em          Em7     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]
(D)       G                           C           G
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away?
          G       C       D
Don't you hear me calling you?
           G       D#dim  Em   Em7     C     G         Am
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
       G             D             G
In the land that our grandchildren knew.

[Verse 2]
(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
             G         D       G
Though their hearts so heavily weigh

(G)     D                             D#dim
For the earth is old and grey, little darling we'll away
       Em        Em7    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]
(D)       G                           C           G
Don't you hear my call though, you're many years away?
          G       C      D
Don't you hear me calling you?
           G       D#dim  Em   Em7     C     G         Am
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
       G             D             G    D
In the land that our grandchildren knew.

[Outro]
(D)       G                           C           G
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away?
          G       C       D
Don't you hear me calling you?
         G       D#dim  Em   Em7    C       G         Am
All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
       Em            D          (G)
For my life | still ahead | pity me.


    G         D           Em        C             Cmaj7     D         G
