[Ab] [Eb] In the year of 39, a [Fm] simple year, the volunteers, [Db] in the days [Ab] when lands [Eb] were few,
[Fm] Hear their ships sail down [Db] to the blue and sunny morn, [Eb] sweetest sight [Ab] ever seen.
[Eb] And the night followed day, [E] and the storytellers say, [Bbm] that this [Fm] score of brave souls [Bb] inside,
[Bbm] [Ab] Born in a lonely day, [Eb] sailed across the lonely seas, [Db] never back, never fear, never cry.
[Ab] Don't you hear my call, [Db] though you're many [Ab] years away, don't you hear me
[Eb] and you,
[Ab] Write your letters in the sand, [Db] for the day [Bb] I take your hand, [Ab] in the [Eb] land that our [Ab] friends you'll renew.

[E] [Ab]
[Eb] year of 39, [Fm] came a ship in from the blue, the [Db] volunteers [Ab] came home that [Eb] day,
And [Fm] they bring good [Ab] news, of [Db] a world so newly born, though [Eb] their hearts so heavily [Ab] weigh.
For [Eb] the earth is old and grey, little [E] darlin' willow [Bbm] way, but [Fm] my love this cannot [Bbm] be,
[Ab] Oh so many years have gone, though [Eb] I'm old I've got a year, [Db] your father's eyes, from your eyes cry to [Eb] me.
Don't [Ab] you hear my call, though [Db] you're many years [Ab] away, don't you hear me calling [Eb] you,
Write your letters in the sand, for [Db] the day I take [Bbm] your hand, in [Ab] the land that our [Ab] friends you'll renew.
[Eb] [Ab] Don't you hear my [Db] call, though you're many years [Ab] away, don't you hear me,
[Eb] All your letters in [Fm] the sand, cannot [Db] heal me like [Bbm] your hand, for [Fm] my life is [Eb] still ahead, pity me.
