[Verse 1]
G In the yearD of thirty nine assembled here Emthe volunteers
In the daysC when landsG were few D
Here the Emship sailed outEm7 into the blueC and sunny morn
Dsus4Sweetest Dsight ever Gseen
And the Dnight followed day and the Ebdim7story tellers say
That the Emscore brave souls inside Am
For Gmany a lonely day sailed acrossD the milky seas
CNe'er looked Emback, Cnever feared,D Cnever cried D
[Chorus]
Don't you Ghear my call though you're Cmany years away? G
Don't you hear me calling Dyou?
Write your Gletters B7in the Emsand Gfor the dayC I Gtake your Amhand
In the Gland Cthat our DgrandCchildDren Gknew

[Verse 2]
G In the yearD of thirty nine came a Emship in from the blue
The volunteersC came Ghome that day D
And they Embring good newsEm7 of a worldC so newly born
Though their Dsus4hearts so Dheavily Gweigh
For the EarthD is old and grey, little darEbdim7lin', wellaway
But my Emlove, this cannot be Am
For so Gmany years are gone though I'm olDder but a year
Your Cmother's eyesEm Cfrom your eyesD Ccry to me D
[Chorus]
Don't you Ghear my call though you're Cmany years away? G
Don't you hear me calling Dyou?
Write your Gletters B7in the Emsand Gfor the dayC I Gtake your Amhand
In the Gland Cthat our DgrandCchildDren Gknew D
Don't you Ghear my call though you're Cmany years away? G
Don't you hear me calling Dyou?
All your Gletters B7in the Emsand Gcannot healC me Glike your Amhand
For my Emlife, still ahead,D pity me G
