Tell me why you're crying my son, I know you're

frightened like everyone
F#m                      Bm                C#m       
is it the thunder in the distance you fear,will it 
         D
help if I stay
         Bm E         A
very near,   I am here

[Chorus]
A7          D              A                   E

when the day is done

A                     Bm          E               
Do you ask why I'm sighing my son you shall inherit 
       A
what mankind has done
F#m                        Bm            C#m          
into a world filled with sorrow and woe If you ask me

F#m                   Bm                 C#m         
do you know more than men that are wise? can you see 
        D                Bm
what we all must disguise
Bm       E            A
through your loving eyes
