four measure intro

G  /  G /  G /  G



G                  Am

Tell me why you're crying my son,

D                             G

I know you're frightened like everyone.

Em                       Am

Is it the thunder in the distance you fear?

Bm                C         Am      D

Will it help if I stay very near

     G

I am here.





           C               G

And if you take my hand my son,

            D                    G

All will be well when the day is done,

           C               G

And if you take my hand my son,

            D                    G

All will be well when the day is done.

       D            G            D            G

Day is done, Day is done, Day is done, Day is done.





                   Am

Do you ask why I'm sighing, my son?

D                      G

You shall inherit what mankind has done.

Em                     Am

In a world filled with sorrow and woe,

Bm            C           Am     D

If you ask me why this is so...

               G

I really don't know.





           C               G

And if you take my hand my son,

            D                    G

All will be well when the day is done,

           C               G

And if you take my hand my son,

            D                    G

All will be well when the day is done.





                   Am

Tell me why you're smiling, my son,

D                         G

Is there a secret you can tell everyone?



Em                    Am

Do you know more than those that are wise?

Bm                  C            Am     D

Can you see what we all must dis-guise

                    G

Through your loving eyes?





           C               G

And if you take my hand my son,

            D                    G

All will be well when the day is done,

           C               G

And if you take my hand my son,

            D                    G

All will be well when the day is done.

       D            G            D            G

Day is done, Day is done, Day is done, Day is done.





           C               G

And if you take my hand my son,

            D                    G

All will be well when the day is done,

           C               G

And if you take my hand my son,

                          D      G

All will be well when the day is done.

       D            G            D            G

Day is done, Day is done, Day is done, Day is done.
