Day Is Done

Peter, Paul and Mary

    C                   Dmi
1. Tell me why you're crying my son
   G                             C
   I know you're frightened like everyone
   Ami                       Dmi
   is it the thunder in the distance you fear
    E                  F        Dmi G      C
   will it help if I stay very near  I am here.
               F               C
R: And if you take my hand my son
                G                    C
   all will be well when the day is done
               F               C
   and if you take my hand my son
                G                    C
   all will be well when the day is done.
           G           C           G           C
*: Day is done day is done day is done day is done.
2. 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.
R:
3. Tell me why you're smiling my son
   is there a secret you can tell everyone
   do you know more than men that are wise
   can you see what we all must disguise through your loving eyes?
R:
