             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

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

           A      E       A

                  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

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

           A      E       A
