        C        G          D              Em          Em7
In the days when lands were few   Here the ship sailed out into the
 
C                     Dsus4     D          G
Blue and sunny morn   Sweetest sight ever seen.
 
     D                           B7(x21201)
And 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.
 
          G                           C (x32013)           G
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away,
 
G            C             D
Don't you hear me calling you
 
               G    B7     Em    Em7       C     G        Am
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
 
        G  (A-2h3-)   D (D-2-4) G
In the land that our grandchildren knew.

  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
 
 Dsus4         D                G
  Though their hearts so heavily weigh
 
     D                             B7
  For the earth is old and grey, little darlin' well 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.
 
 
   G                       C                       G
  Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
 
    G       C     G     D
  Don't you hear me calling you
 
    G    B7  Em    Em7         C         G        Am
  All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
 
         Em
  For my life
     D
  Still ahead
    G
  Pity Me.
