(Verse 1)
A           E      Bm              E
Tell me why you're crying, my son, I know you're 
                A
frightened like everyone.
Gbm                      B            Bm
Is it the thunder in the distance you fear, will
Dbm               D         B     E    A
Will it help if I stay very near, I am here.



(Chorus)
A          D               A                E
And if you take my hand my son, all will be well
                A
when the day is done.
A          D               A                E
And if you take my hand my son, all will be well
                A
when the day is done.
       E                                   A         
Day is done ( when the day is done) day is done 
                              E
(when the day is done) day is done (when the day 
                A
is done) day is done.



(Verse 2)
A                   Bm              E
Do you ask why I'm sighing, my son, you shall inherit
E7                     A
You shall inherit what mankind has done.
Gbm  A                 Bm              Dbm
In a world filled with sorrow and woe, if you ask me
D           Bm  E              A
why this is so..I really don't know. 



(Chorus)
A          D               A                E
And if you take my hand my son, all will be well
         A
when the day is done.
A          D               A                E
And if you take my hand my son, all will be well

when the day is done.
       E                                   A         
Day is done ( when the day is done) day is done 
                              E
(when the day is done) day is done (when the day 
                A
is done) day is done.



(Verse 3)
A                   Bm              E
Tell me why you're smiling, my son, is there a secret
        A
you can tell everyone.
Gbm                   Bm                 Dbm
Do you know more than men that are wise, can you see
        D           Bm     E                   A
what we all must disguise..through your loving eyes?



(Chorus)
A          D               A                E
And if you take my hand my son, all will be well
         A
when the day is done.
A          D               A                E

when the day is done.
       E                                   A         
Day is done ( when the day is done) day is done 
                              E
(when the day is done) day is done (when the day 
                A
is done) day is done.



(Chorus)
A          D               A                E
And if you take my hand my son, all will be well
         A
when the day is done.
A          D               A                E
And if you take my hand my son, all will be well
                A
when the day is done.
       E                                   A         
Day is done ( when the day is done) day is done 
                              E
(when the day is done) day is done (when the day 
                A
is done) day is done.

         A
when the day is done.
A          D               A                E
And if you take my hand my son, all will be well
         A
when the day is done.
A          D               A                E
And if you take my hand my son, all will be well
         A
when the day is done..(Fade.)
