Queen - '39
G D Em
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 Dsus4 D G
Blue and sunny morn Sweetest sight ever seen.
D B7(x21201)
And night followed day, and the story tellers say
Em Am
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 (x32013) G
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away,
G C D
Don't you hear me calling you
G B7 Em Em7 C G Am
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
G (A-2h3-) D (D-2-4) G
In the land that our grandchildren knew.

In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
C G D
The volunteers came home that day

And they bring good news of a world so newly born

Though their hearts so heavily weigh

But my love this cannot be

For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year

Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me.

All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand

For my life

Still ahead
