         In the   year of '39.... Assembled here the volunteers



        C~       G          D              Em          Em7 

In the days when lands were few   Here the ship sailed out into the



C~                    D(add G) Dmaj       G 

Blue and sunny morn   Sweetest sight ever seen.



G   D                           H7

And night followed day, and the story tellers say



         Em                   Am    (then passing notes C B A F#)

That the score brave souls inside



    G                         D 

For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas



C            Em    C     D       C  (G) D------

Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried.



          G                           C            G

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



G                         D

Don't you hear me calling you



               G      F#/G   Em    D      C    H/G        Am  

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



        Em           D             G

In the land that our grandchildren knew.
