[G] In the [D] year of ’39 assembled [Em] here the Volunteers
In the [C] days when [G] lands were [D] few
Here the [Em] ship sailed out into the [C] blue and sunny morn
The [D] sweetest sight ever [G] seen.
And the [D] night followed day
And the [A] story tellers say
That the [E7] score brave souls in-[Am]side
For [G] many a lonely day sailed a-[D]cross the milky seas
Never looked [C] back, never [D] feared, never cried.
Don’t you [G] hear my call though you’re [C] many years a[G]way
Don’t you hear me calling [D] you
Write your [F#m] letters in the [Em] sand
For the [C] day I take your [Am] hand
In the [C] land that our [D] grandchildren [G] knew.
[G] In the [D] year of ’39 came a [Em] ship in from the blue
The volun-[C]teers came [G] home that [D] day
And they [Em] bring good [G] news of a [C] world so newly born
Though their [D] hearts so heavily [G] weigh
For the [D] earth is old and grey, little [F#m] darling we’ll away
But my [Em] love this cannot [Am] be
For so [G] many years have gone though I’m [D] older but a year
Your mother’s [C] eyes from your eyes cry to [D] me.
Don’t you [G] hear my call though you’re [C] many years a[G]way
Don’t you hear me calling [D] you
Write your [F#m] letters in the [Em] sand
For the [C] day I take your [Am] hand
In the [C] land that our [D] grandchildren [G] knew.
[D] Don’t you [G] hear my call though you’re [C] many years a[G]way
Don’t you hear me calling [D] you
Write [G] your letters in the [Em] sand cannot [G] heal me like your [Am] hand
For my [C] life, still a-[D]head
Pity [G] Me. (Pause 3) [G]/ [D]/ [Em]/ [C]/// [D]/ [G] ///
