D Em
In the year of thirty nine assembled here the volunteers
C G D
In the days when the lands were few
Em C
And the ship sailed out into the blue and misty morn
Dsus4 D G
The sweetest sign ever seen.
D D#dim
And the night followed day, and the story tellers say
Em Am
The score brave souls inside
G D
For so many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
G C Em C D G D
Ne'er looked, never feared, never cried
G C
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
G D
Don't you hear me calling you
G B7 Em
Write your letters in the sand
G C G Am
For the day I take your hand
G D G
In the land that our grandchildren knew
