This is something which we're going to do with the London Philharmonic, but they didn't turn up.
So we will do the ethnic version of a song called 39.
[G] Are we on?
[D] [Em] [C] I'd like everybody [D] to join in.
Come on!
Clap [C] along on something.
[G]
[D] [Em] [C]
[D] [G] [D] Nearer, O 39, than the sun [E] will heal the falling tears
[C] The days when the [D] land's in fields
[E] And the ships trail down [C] into the blue and misty morn
[D]
The sweetest sight [G] I've ever seen
And [D] the nights, for the day, [F#] and the storytellers say
[Em] There's score [F#m] brave souls [A] inside
For [G] so many lonely days, [D] sailed across the milky sea
[E] Ne'er looked [F#] back, never feared, [D] never tried
Don't [A] you hear my [D] call, [C] though you're many [G] years away
[Gm] Don't you hear me calling [D] you
Write [F] your [F#m] letters [F#] in the sand, for the day [Bm] I [A] take your hand
In [G] the [Dm] land that [G] our grandchildren knew
[D#] Oh [C]
[A]
[Bm]
[C] [F#m] [C] [A]
[E] [A#] yeah!
[Cm] [F] [G]
[A] Nearer, O 39, as the birds [E] to trip from the blue
The falling [Am] tears came [D] home that day
[A] And the [E] great good news from [C] a world so newly born
Though [A] they are [D] so heavily [G]
weighed
Now [D] the earth is old and grey, a little [F#m] time in your way
[F#] But [E] my love, [F#] this [G] cannot [A] be
For [G] so many lonely years, though [D] I'm older, buddy
Yet [C] your mother's eyes, in [D] her eyes, cry to me
Don't [Dm] you hear my [A] [Dm] call, though [C] you're many [D] years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters [C] in the sand, for the [A] day I take your hand
[D] In the land that our [C] grandchildren [D]
knew
Don't you hear my call, [Em] though you're many [G] years away
[D] Don't you hear [G] me [D] calling you
All your [B] letters [Em] in the sand cannot [A] heal me like your hand
[Em] All my life, [D] still ahead, [G] pity me
[Bm] [Em] [C] [D] [G]
