In the year of thirty nine assembled here the volunteers
        C              G         D
In the days when the lands were few
         Em          Em7          C
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn

The sweetest sight ever seen.

The score brave souls inside

For so many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas

Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried
 
 
           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
        G/B    G/C   D             G
In the land that our grandchildren knew

The volunteers came home that day

And they bring good news from a world so newly born

For so many years have gone now I'm older but a year
     C        Em    C        D      C       G D
Your mother's eyes from your eyes - cry to me
 
 
           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
All your letters in the sand
 G       C        G            Am
Can not heal me like your your hand

For my life, still ahead, pity me
