In the yDear of '39 assembledEm here the volunteers
In the daCys when Glands wereD few
Here the Emship sailedEm7 out into theC blue and sunny mornin'
The D4sweetestD sight everG seen.
And the nDight followed day, and the sEb(dim) (xx1202)tory tellers say
That the sEmcore brave Em/F#souls Em/Gin - Amside
For maGny a lonely day sailed aD7cross the milky seas
CNeverEm looked back,C neveD7r fearCed, neverG cried.D7
Don't you hGear my call, though you'reC many yearsG away,
Don't you Ghear me callingD7 you
Write your GletterD/F#s in theEm sandD2 for theC day G/BI take yourAm hand
In the lGand that our D7grand-childrenG knew.
