Verse:

B             F#
Little child, be not afraid

    E           B       E
The rain pounds harshly against the glass

        Abm
like an unwanted stranger

F#
There is no danger,

E
I am here tonight


B             F#
Little child, be not afraid,

       E         B          E
though thunder explodes and lightning flash

Abm
illuminates

     F#
your tear-stained face

E                  F#
I am here tonight


Chorus:

                   B
And someday you'll know

               E
that nature is so

         Abm                      F#
the same rain that draws you near me

                    B
falls on rivers and land,

               E
on forests and sand

          Abm                         F#
makes the beautiful world that you'll see

       E          B       F#      B
in the morning



Verse:

B             E
Little child, be not afraid

       E            B         E
though storm clouds mask your beloved moon

        Abm
and its candlelight beams,

      F#
still keep pleasant dreams

E
I am here tonight


B             F#
Little child, be not afraid

       E          B         E    
though wind makes creatures of our trees

          Abm
and their branches to hands,

            F#     
they're not real, understand

    E                 F#
and I am here tonight


Chorus:


                   B
And someday you'll know

               E
that nature is so

         Abm                      F#
the same rain that draws you near me

                    B
falls on rivers and land,

               E
on forests and sand

          Abm                         F#
makes the beautiful world that you'll see

       E          B       Abm      F#      B
in the morning

E
                     F#
For you know, once even I was a..


Verse:

  B                 F#
..little child, and I was afraid

      E      B       E
but a gentle someone always came

   Abm                      F#
to dry all my tears, switch sweet sleep for fears

       E                     F#
and to give a kiss goodnight


Chorus:

              B
Well now I am grown

                     E
and these years have shown

              Abm              F#
that rain's a part of how life goes

                       B 
But it's dark and it's late

                     E
so I'll hold you and wait

          Abm                F#
'til your frightened eyes do close

                       B
And I hope that you'll know

               E
that nature is so

         Abm                      F#
the same rain that draws you near me

                    B
falls on rivers and land,

               E
on forests and sand

          Abm                         F#
makes the beautiful world that you'll see

       E
in the morning



B                        E
Everything's fine in the morning

    B                      Abm
The rain'll be gone in the morning,

    F#                        B
but I'll still be here in the morning
