Verse 1
In the year (D major) of '39,
assembled here (E minor) the volunteers
In the days (C major) when lands (G major) were few (D major)
Here the (E minor) ship sailed out
into the blue (C major) and sunny morn
(Dsus4) Sweetest (D major) sight ever (G major) seen
And the (D major) night followed day
And the (E flatdim7) story tellers say
That the (E minor) score brave souls inside (A minor)
For (G major) many a lonely day
sailed across (D major) the milky seas
(C major) Ne'er looked (E minor) back, (C major) never feared, (D major)
(C major) never (G major) cried (D major)

Chorus 1
Don't you (G major) hear my call
though you're (C major) many years away (G major)
Don't you (G major) hear me calling (D major) you
Write your (G major) letters (B7/F#) in the (E minor) sand
(D major) For the day (C major) I (G major) take your (A minor) hand
In the (G/B) land (C major) that our (D major) grandchildren (G major) knew

Verse 2
In the year (D major) of '39
came a (E minor) ship in from the blue
The volunteers (C major) came (G major) home that day (D major)
And they (E minor) bring good news
of a world (C major) so newly born
Though their (Dsus4) hearts so (D major) heavily weight (G major)
For the earth (D major) is old and grey,
little darling, (E flatdim7) we'll away
But my (E minor) love, this cannot be (A minor)
Oh, so (G major) many years have gone
though I'm older (D major) but a year
Your (C major) mother's eyes, (E minor) (C major) from your eyes, (D major)
(C major) cry to (G major) me (D major)
Chorus 2
Don't you (G major) hear my call
though you're (C major) many years away (G major)
Don't you (G major) hear me calling (D major) you
Write your (G major) letters (B7/F#) in the (E minor) sand
(D major) For the day (C major) I (G major) take your (A minor) hand
In the (G/B) land (C major) that our (D major) grandchildren (G major) knew (D major)
Chorus 3
Don't you (G major) hear my call
though you're (C major) many years away (G major)
Don't you (G major) hear me calling (D major) you
All your (G major) letters (B7/F#) in the (E minor) sand
(D major) cannot heal (C major) me (G major) like your (A minor) hand
For my (E minor) life
Still ahead (D major)
