         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.
