       D                             Em
In the year of thirty nine assembled here the volunteers
       C             G          D
In the days when the lands were few
         Em          Em7          C
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
    Dsus4    D          G
The sweetest sight ever seen

        D                           B7
And the night followed day, and the story tellers say
         Em                  Am
That the score brave souls inside
       G                         D
Oh 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               D
Don't you hear me calling you
           G       B7     Em
Write your letters in the sand
G       C     G         Am
For the day I take your hand
       G/B    G/C    D             G
In the land that our grandchildren knew

In the year of thirty nine came a ship came from the blue

The volunteers came home that day

And they bring good news from a world so newly born
             Dsus4     D       G
Though their hearts so heavily weigh

Now the earth is old and grey, little darling we'll away

But my love this cannot be
       G                            D
For so many years have gone now I'm older but a year
     C        Em   C         D      C      G   D
Your mother's eyes from your eyes - cry to me

Write your letters in the sand
G       C     G         Am

For my life, still ahead, pity me
