(intro) G5 

G5                  A5
Tell me why you're crying my son,
D5                             G5
I know you're frightened like everyone.
E5                       A5
Is it the thunder in the distance you fear?

B5                C5         A5      D5
Will it help if I stay very near
     G5
I am here.
           C5               G5
And if you take my hand my son,
            D5                    G5
All will be well when the day is done,
           C5               G5
And if you take my hand my son,
            D5                    G5
All will be well when the day is done.
       D5            G5            D5            G5
Day is done, Day is done, Day is done, Day is done.

                   A5
Do you ask why I'm sighing, my son?
D5                      G5
You shall inherit what mankind has done.
E5                     A5
In a world filled with sorrow and woe,
B5            C5           A5     D5
If you ask me why this is so...
               G5
I really don't know.
           C5               G5
And if you take my hand my son,
            D5                    G5
All will be well when the day is done,
           C5               G5
And if you take my hand my son,
            D5                    G5
All will be well when the day is done.
                   A5
Tell me why you're smiling, my son,

D5                         G5
Is there a secret you can tell everyone?
E5                    A5
Do you know more than those that are wise?
B5                  C5            A5     D5
Can you see what we all must dis-guise
                    G5
Through your loving eyes?
           C5               G5
And if you take my hand my son,
            D5                    G5
All will be well when the day is done,
           C5               G5
And if you take my hand my son,
            D5                    G5
All will be well when the day is done.
       D5            G5            D5            G5
Day is done, Day is done, Day is done, Day is done.
           C5               G5
And if you take my hand my son,
            D5                    G5
All will be well when the day is done,
           C5               G5
And if you take my hand my son,

                          D5      G5
All will be well when the day is done.
       D5            G5            D5            G5
Day is done, Day is done, Day is done, Day is done.
