When the night      has come                       and the land is da-   rk
               C               D              G               G
And the mo-    on is the on-   ly light we'll see

No, I wo -     n't be af-      raid, no, I    won't be af-    raid

If the sky     that we look up-on                 should tumble and fall
               C               D              G            G
And the mount- ain      should crumble to the sea
               G               G              Em           Em
I won't cry,       I won't cry,    no, I      won't shed a tear
