[Ab] In [Eb] the year of 39, the [Fm] symbol year of volunteers, [Db] in the days [Ab] when lands [Eb] were few, [Fm] hear the
ships sailed [Ab] out [Db] to the blue on sunny morn, [Eb] sweetest sight [Ab] ever seen.
[Eb] And the night followed day, [Gm] and the [Bbm] storytellers say, [Fm] the score of brave souls [Bb] inside, [Bbm] [Ab] more
many a lonely day, [Eb] sailed across the milky seas, [Db] never back, [Bb] never fear, never [Eb] cry.
[Ab] Don't you hear them, [Db] although you're many [Ab] years away, don't you hear
[Eb] them, [Ab] write your letters
in the sand, [Db] for the day I [Bb] take your hand, [Ab] in the [Eb] land that our [Ab] grandchildren knew.

[Eb] the year of 39, [Fm] came the shipping from the blue, the [Db] volunteers [Ab] came home that [Eb] day,
and [Fm] they bring good [Ab] news, of [Db] the world's a newly born, from [Eb] their hearts so heavily [Ab] weighed.
For [Eb] the earth is old and grey, [E] little darlin' [Bbm] willow way, but [F] my [Fm] love is still alive and
[Bb] free, [Bbm]
oh [Ab] so many years ago, [Eb] no more old earth than here, [Db] your father's eyes, from your eyes,
cry [Eb] to me.
Don't [Ab] you hear my call, although [Db] you're many [Ab] years away, don't you hear me calling [Eb] you,
write [Ab] your letters in the sand, for [Db] the day I [Bbm] take your hand, in [Ab] the land that our grandchildren [Eb] knew.
[Ab] Don't you hear my [Db] call, although you're many [Ab] years away, don't you hear me, [Eb]
[Ab] all you left
[Fm] in the sand, [Db] cannot heal me [Bbm] like your hand, [Fm] for my life's [Eb] still ahead, [Ab] pity me.
