[VERSE 1]
             D
Grandmother waits for you 

                     A
with a pair of new shoes 

                                   E
in a land where the leaves never brown 

A               D
The hills are scattered with 

             A
empty wheelchairs 

                                 E
and hearing aids thrown to the ground 

A                 D
The long night is over 

                A
The shadow has passed 

                           E   A
and farewells forever are done
[CHORUS]
D              A
No more fear, no more cold 

F#m            E
Earth and sky painted gold 

        D                E         A
In the land where we'll never grow old

 A               D         A
Never grow old, never grow old

        A                E         A
In the land where we'll never grow old

[VERSE 2]
                  D
The peacock and snake, 

                  A
the wolf and the lamb, 

                             E 
all creatures find peace in time

       A              D
These perfect white shores 

                    A
are littered with jewels 

                            E 
falling like rain from the sky 

 A          D
Mother and baby 

               A
walk into the waves

                       E    A
no longer fearing the tides
[CHORUS]
D              A
No more fear, no more cold 

F#m            E
Earth and sky painted gold 

        D                E         A
In the land where we'll never grow old

 A               D         A
Never grow old, never grow old

        A                E         A
In the land where we'll never grow old
