Ab           Eb                              Fm
 In the year of thirty nine assembled here the volunteers

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

Ne'er looked back, never feared,  never cried

Don't you hear me calling you?

Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand

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

Though their hearts so heavily weigh
             Eb                           Edim7
For the Earth is old and grey, little darlin', wellaway

For so many years are gone though I'm older but a year

Your mother's eyes   from your eyes  cry to me

Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand

For my life, still ahead, pity me
