Ab           Eb                              Fm
 In the year of thirty nine assembled here the volunteers
           Db          Ab        Eb
In the days when lands were few
         Fm             Fm7             Db
Here the ship sailed out   into the blue and sunny morn
Ebsus4    Eb          Ab
Sweetest sight ever seen
        Eb                          Edim7
And the night followed day and the story tellers say
         Fm                      Bbm
That the score brave souls inside
    Ab                              Eb
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
Db            Fm    Db            Eb Db          Eb
Ne'er looked back, never feared,  never cried

Don't you hear me calling you?
           Ab       C7     Fm   Ab          Db  Ab         Bbm
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
       Ab    Db        Eb    Db    Eb   Ab
In the land that our grandchildren knew

Verse 2:
Ab           Eb                      Fm
 In the year of thirty nine came a ship in from the blue
              Db     Ab            Eb
The volunteers came home that day
         Fm             Fm7          Db
And they bring good news   of a world so newly born
             Ebsus4     Eb       Ab
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
             Eb                           Edim7
For the Earth is old and grey, little darlin', wellaway
       Fm                  Bbm
But my love, this cannot be
       Ab                                Eb
For so many years are gone though I'm older but a year
     Db            Fm Db             Eb Db        Eb
Your mother's eyes   from your eyes  cry to me
 
Chorus:

Don't you hear my call though you're many years away?

Don't you hear me calling you?
           Ab       C7     Fm   Ab          Db  Ab         Bbm
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand

In the land that our grandchildren knew
          Ab                          Db               Ab
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away?

All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand

For my life, still ahead, pity me
