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.
