[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
