In the ^Dyear of '39 assembled ^Emhere the volunteers In the ^Cdays when ^Glands were ^Dfew And the ^Emship sailed ^Em7out into the ^Cblue and sunny morn The ^Dsus4sweetest ^Dsight ^Gev^Der ^Gseen. ----------

And the ^Dnight followed day and the ^D#dimstory tellers say That the ^Emscore brave ^Em7souls in^Amside For so ^Gmany a lonely day sailed ^Dacross the milky seas Never looked ^Emback, never ^Dfeared, ^Gnever ^Gcried.^D ----------

Don't you ^Ghear my call though you're ^Cmany years ^Gaway Don't you hear me ^Ccalling ^Dyou Write your ^Gletters ^D#dimin the ^Emsand for the ^Cday I ^Gtake your ^Amhand In the ^Gland ^Gsus4that our ^Dgrandchildren ^Gknew. ----------

I^Dn the year of '39 c^Emame a ship in from the blue The volun^Cteers came ^Ghome that ^Dday And they ^Embring good ^Em7news of a ^Cworld so newly born Though their ^Dsus4hearts so ^Dheavily ^Gweigh ----------

For the ^DEarth is old and grey, little ^D#dimdarling we'll away But my ^Emlove this ^Em7cannot ^Ambe For so ^Gmany years have gone though I'm ^Dolder but a year Your mother's ^Emeyes from your ^Deyes cry to ^Gme. ^D ----------

Don't you ^Ghear my call though you're ^Cmany years ^Gaway Don't you ^Ghear me ^Ccalling ^Dyou Write your ^Gletters ^D#dimin the ^Emsand for the ^Cday I ^Gtake your ^Amhand In the ^Gland ^Gsus4that our ^Dgrandchildren ^Gknew.

Don't you ^Ghear my call though you're ^Cmany years ^Gaway Don't you ^Ghear me ^Ccalling ^Dyou All your le^Gtters ^D#dimin the ^Emsand cannot ^Cheal me ^Glike your ^Amhand For my ^Emlife | still a^Dhead | pity ^Gme.
