D                    Gm        D
Walking through the fields of gold
D                 Gm        D
In the distance, bombs can fall
Bm                  G
Boy we're running free
D                     A
Facing light in the flow
Bm                  G
And in the cherry trees
D                      A
We're hiding from the world

Chorus:
         C            Bm
But the golden age is over
         C            Bm
But the golden age is over

Boy, we're dancing through the snow
Waters freeze, the wind blows
Did you ever feel
We're falling as we grow?
No, I would not believe
The light could ever go

Chorus

Bm                     F#
Listen, I can hear the call
Bm                          F#
As I'm walking through the door
Bm             G
Did you ever dream we'd miss
D                   A
The morning in the sun
Bm                       G
The playground on the streets
D                    A
The bliss of slumberland
Bm               G
Boy, we are family
D                    A
No matter what they say
Bm                     G
But boys are made to flee
D                 A
And run away one day

Chorus:
When the golden age is over
Oh the golden age is over
But the golden age is over
The golden age is over
