In the y^Dear of thirty nine assembled h^Emere the volunteers In the d^Cays when l^Gands were f^Dew Here the s^Emhip sailed out into the b^Clue and sunny morn The s^Dsus4weetest s^Dight ever s^Geen.

And the n^Dight followed day, and the s^Ebdimtory tellers say That the s^Emcore brave souls ins^Amide For m^Gany a lonely day sailed ac^Dross the milky seas N^Ce'er looked b^Emack, n^Cever f^Deared, ^Cnever c^Gried ^D

[Chorus]

Don't you h^Gear my call though you're m^Cany years away Don't you h^Gear me calling ^Dyou Write your l^Getters ^B7in the s^Emand F^Gor the d^Cay I t^Gake your h^Amand In the l^Gand that ou^Dr grandchildren k^Gnew

In the y^Dear of thirty nine came a s^Emhip came from the blue The volu^Cnteers came ho^Gme that da^Dy And they ^Embring good news from a wo^Crld so newly born Though thei^Dsus4r hearts so h^Deavily we^Gigh

Now the ea^Drth is old and grey, little ^Ebdimdarling we'll away But my l^Emove this cannot ^Ambe For so m^Gany years have gone now I'm o^Dlder but a year Your m^Cother's^Em eyes f^Crom y^Dour eyes - ^Ccry to m^Ge ^D

[Chorus]

Don't you h^Gear my call though you're m^Cany years away Don't you h^Gear me calling ^Dyou All your let^Gters in^B7 the san^Emd C^Gan not h^Ceal me li^Gke your your ^Amhand For my l^Emife, still a^Dhead, pity m^Ge
