[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

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
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

Write your letters in the sand

For my life, still ahead, pity me

Thank you, excellent version! Though there´s one small failure. The last chorus goes "All the letters in the sand.." instead of "write your letters".
Freaks me out every time
