| [G] . Tell me why you're | [Am] crying my son |
| [D] . I know you're frightened like | [G] everyone |
| [Em] . Is it the thunder in the | [Am] distance you fear? |
| [B] . Will it help if I | [C] stay very | [Am] near | [D] |   
I am | [G] here. [Gsus4] | [G]  

Chorus
And if you | [C] take my hand my | [G] son
All will be | [D] well when the day is | [G] done
And if you | [C] take my hand my | [G] son
All will be | [D] well when the day is | [G] done.

Day is | [D] done, (oh when the day is | [D] done)
Day is | [G] done (When the day is | [G] done)
The day is | [D] done (when the day is | [D] done)
The day is | [G] done. [Gsus4] | [G] [Gsus4] |       


| [G] . Do you ask why I'm | [Am] sighing, my son? |
| [D] . You shall inherit what | [G] mankind has done. |
| [Em] . In a world filled with | [Am] sorrow and woe |
| [B] . If you ask me | [C] why this is | [Am] so... |
| [D] . I really don't | [G] know. [Gsus4] | [G!]  

Chorus
And if you | [C] take my hand my | [G] son
All will be | [D] well when the day is | [G] done
And if you | [C] take my hand my | [G] son
All will be | [D] well when the day is | [G] done.

Day is | [D] done, (oh when the day is | [D] done)
Day is | [G] done, (When the day is | [G] done)
The day is | [D] done (when the day is | [D] done)
The day is | [G] done. [Gsus4] | [G] [Gsus4] |       

| [G] . Tell me why you're | [Am] smiling, my son |
| [D] . Is there a secret you can | [G] tell everyone? |
| [Em] . Do you know more | [Am] than those that are wise? |
| [B] . Can you see what we | [C] all must dis- | [Am] guise   |
| [D] . Through your loving | [G] eyes? [Gsus4] | [G!]  

Chorus
And if you | [C] take my hand my | [G] son
All will be | [D] well when the | [G] day is done
And if you | [C] take my hand my | [G] son
All will be | [D] well when the day is | [G] done.

Day is | [D] done, (oh when the day is | [D] done)
Day is | [G] done, (When the day is | [G] done)
The day is | [D] done (oh when the day is | [D] done)
The day is | [G] done. (oh now you | [G] sing it)

And if you | [C] take my hand my | [G] son
All will be | [D] well when the day is | [G] done
And if you | [C] take my hand my | [G] son
All will be | [D] well when the day is | [G!] done.
