In the D year of ’39 assembled Em here the volunteers.

In the C days when G lands were Dfew.

Here the Em ship sailed Gout

into the C blue and sunny morn. C

G Sweetest D sight ever Gseen.

And the D night followed day,

and the Eβ™­o storytellers say

that the Em score brave souls inAmside

for G many a lonely day

sailed D across the milky seas.

Ne’er looked C back, never D feared, never Gcried.

Don’t you G hear my call,

though you’re C many years aGway?

Don’t you G hear me calling Dyou?

Write your G letters Bm in the Emsand

D6 for the C day I Bm take your Amhand

in the Bm land that our D7 grandchildren Gknew.

(Aaah

In the D year of ’39 came a Em ship in from the blue.

The volunC teers came G home that Dday.

And they Em bring good Gnews

of a C world so newly born,

though their G hearts so D heavily Gweigh.

For the D earth is old and grey,

little Eβ™­o darling we’ll away,

but my Em love this cannot Ambe.

For so G many years have gone

though I’m D older but a year.

Your mother’s C eyes, from your D eyes, cry to Gme.

Don’t you G hear my call,

though you’re C many years aGway?

don’t you G hear me calling Dyou?

All the G letters Bm in the Emsand

D6 cannot C heal me Bm like your Am hand …

For my Em7 life, still aD7 head, pity Gme.
