Peter, Paul And Mary

^G Tell me why you're ^Ami crying my son,
^D I know you're frightened like ^G everyone.
^Emi Is it the thunder in the ^Ami distance you fear?
^Hmi Will it help if I ^C stay very ^Ami near? ^D
D I am ^G here.

R: ^G And if you ^C take my hand my ^G son,
^G All will be ^D well when the day is ^G done,
^G And if you ^C take my hand my ^G son,
^G All will be ^D well when the day is ^G done.

^G Day is ^D done, Day is ^G done, Day is ^D done, Day is ^G done.

Do you ask why I'm sighing, my son?
You shall inherit what mankind has done.
In a world filled with sorrow and woe,
If you ask me why this is so...
I really don't know.

Ref.

Tell me why you're smiling, my son,
Is there a secret you can tell everyone?
Do you know more than those that are wise?
Can you see what we all must disguise
Through your loving eyes?
