Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Tell me why you're crying my son,I know you're frightened like everyone
isn't it the thunder in the distance you fear,will it help if I stay
very near,I am here
Chorus
And if you take my hand my son and all will be well when the day is done
and if you take my hand my son and all will be well when the day is done
day is done when the day is done day is done
Do you ask why you're sighing my son you shall inherit what mankind has done
into the world filled with sorrow in wonder do you ask me why?
is this sorrow?,I really don't know
(Chorus)
Tell me why you're smiling my son is there a secret you can tell everyone
do you know more that men that are wise? do you see the disguise
through the skies through your loving eyes
(Chorus)(2x)
