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?

B                   C         Am      D
  Will it help if I stay very near

     G     Gsus4 G
I am here.
[Chorus 1]
           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
Day is done, (oh when the day is done) Day is done, (When the day is done)

           D                                       G     Gsus4 G   Gsus4  G
The day is done (when the day is done), The day is done.
[Verse 2]
                   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,

B               C           Am     D
  If you ask me why this is so...

               G
I really don't know.
[Chorus 2]
           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
Day is done, (oh when the day is done) Day is done, (When the day is done)

           D                                       G     Gsus4 G   Gsus4  G
The day is done (when the day is done), The day is done.
[Verse 3]
                   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?

B                     C           Am     D
  Can you see what we all must disguise

                    G      Gsus4  G
Through your loving eyes?
[Chorus 3]
           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
Day is done, (oh when the day is done) Day is done, (When the day is done)

           D                                          G
The day is done (oh when the day is done), The day is done. (oh now you sing it)
(repeat chorus and fade)
