Tom: B
B F#
Little child, be not afraid
E B E
the rain pounds harshly against the glass
G#m
like an unwanted stranger
F#
there is no danger
E
I am here tonight
B F#
Little child, be not afraid
E B E
though thunder explodes and lightning flash
G#m
illuminates
F#
your tear-stained face
E F#
I am here tonight
[Chorus]
B
And someday you'll know
E
that nature is so
G#m F#
the same rain that draws you near me
B
falls on rivers and land
E
on forests and sand
G#m F#
makes the beautiful world that you'll see
E B F# B
in the morning
[Verse]
B F#
Little child, be not afraid
E B E
though storm clouds mask your beloved moon
G#m
and its candlelight beams
F#
still keep pleasant dreams
E
I am here tonight
B F#
Little child, be not afraid
E B E
though wind makes creatures of our trees
G#m
and their branches to hands
F#
they're not real, understand
E F#
and I am here tonight
[Chorus]
B
And someday you'll know
E
that nature is so
G#m F#
the same rain that draws you near me
B
falls on rivers and land
E
on forests and sand
G#m F#
makes the beautiful world that you'll see
E B G#m F# B
in the morning
E F#
For you know, once even I was a...
[Verse]
B F#
Little child, and I was afraid
E B E
but a gentle someone always came
G#m F#
to dry all my tears, switch sweet sleep for fears
E F#
and to give a kiss goodnight
[Chorus]
B
Well now I am grown
E
and these years have shown
G#m F#
that rain's a part of how life goes
B
but it's dark and it's late
E
so I'll hold you and wait
G#m F#
'til your frightened eyes do close
B
And I hope that you'll know
E
that nature is so
G#m F#
the same rain that draws you near me
B
falls on rivers and land
E
on forests and sand
G#m F#
makes the beautiful world that you'll see
E
in the morning
[Outro]
B E
Everything's fine in the morning
B G#m
the rain'll be gone in the morning
F# B
but you'll still be here in the morning
