       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
