RE7 MIm
In the year of '39 assembled here the Volunteers
DO SOL RE7
In the days when lands were few
MIm SOL DO
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
SOL RE7 SOL
The sweetest sight ever seen.
RE7
And the night followed day
MIbdim
And the story tellers day
MIm LAm
That the score brave souls inside
SOL RE7
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
DO RE7 SOL RE7
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried.
SOL DO SOL
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
SOL RE7
Don't you hear me calling you
G Hm Em
Write your letters in the sand
RE6 DO SIm LAm
For the day I take your hand
SIm RE7 SOL
In the land that our grandchildren knew.
In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey, to a new home we'll away
But my love this cannot be
For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes in your eyes cry to me.
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
For my life
Still ahead
Pity Me.
