(intro) 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.
