39 (Roger Taylor from Queen)

In the ^D7year of '39 assembled ^Emhere the Volunteers In the ^Cdays when ^Glands were ^D7few Here the ^Emship sailed ^Gout into the ^Cblue and sunny morn The ^Gsweetest ^D7sight ever ^Gseen.

And the ^D7night followed day And the ^Ebdimstory tellers day That the ^Emscore brave souls ^Aminside For ^Gmany a lonely day sailed ^D7across the milky seas Ne'er looked ^Cback, never ^D7feared, never ^Gcried. ^D7

Don't you ^Ghear my call though you're ^Cmany years ^Gaway Don't you ^Ghear me calling ^D7you Write your ^Gletters ^Hmin the ^Emsand ^D6For the ^Cday I ^Bmtake your ^Amhand In the ^Bmland that our ^D7grandchildren ^Gknew.

In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue The volunteers came home that day And they bring good news of a world so newly born Though their hearts so heavily weigh For the earth is old and grey, to a new home we'll away But my love this cannot be For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year Your mother's eyes in your eyes cry to me. Don't you hear my call though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand For my life Still ahead Pity Me.
