Verse:
B             Gb
Little child, be not afraid
    E           B       E
The rain pounds harshly against the glass
        Abm
like an unwanted stranger
Gb
There is no danger,
E
I am here tonight


B             Gb
Little child, be not afraid,
       E         B          E
though thunder explodes and lightning flash
Abm
illuminates
     Gb
your tear-stained face
E                  Gb
I am here tonight

Chorus:
                   B
And someday you'll know
               E
that nature is so
         Abm                      Gb
the same rain that draws you near me
                    B
falls on rivers and land,
               E
on forests and sand
          Abm                         Gb
makes the beautiful world that you'll see
       E          B       Gb      B
in the morning

Verse:
B             E
Little child, be not afraid
       E            B         E
though storm clouds mask your beloved moon
        Abm
and its candlelight beams,
      Gb
still keep pleasant dreams
E
I am here tonight


B             Gb
Little child, be not afraid
       E          B         E    
though wind makes creatures of our trees
          Abm
and their branches to hands,
            Gb     
they're not real, understand
    E                 Gb
and I am here tonight

Chorus:
                   B
And someday you'll know
               E
that nature is so
         Abm                      Gb
the same rain that draws you near me
                    B
falls on rivers and land,
               E
on forests and sand
          Abm                         Gb
makes the beautiful world that you'll see
       E          B       Abm      Gb      B
in the morning
E                     Gb
For you know, once even I was a..

Verse:
  B                 Gb
..little child, and I was afraid
      E      B       E
but a gentle someone always came
   Abm                      Gb
to dry all my tears, switch sweet sleep for fears
       E                     Gb
and to give a kiss goodnight

Chorus:
              B
Well now I am grown
                     E
and these years have shown
              Abm              Gb
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
          Abm                Gb
'til your frightened eyes do close
                       B
And I hope that you'll know
               E
that nature is so
         Abm                      Gb
the same rain that draws you near me
                    B
falls on rivers and land,
               E
on forests and sand
          Abm                         Gb
makes the beautiful world that you'll see
       E
in the morning


B                        E
Everything's fine in the morning
    B                      Abm
The rain'll be gone in the morning,
    Gb                        B
but I'll still be here in the morning This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use. The underlying song, lyrics and music remain the property of their copyright owners. To request removal, see Legal & Copyright.
