[Verse 1]

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)
