[Verse 1]

             G

When the night has come

Em      

  And the land is dark

          C         D                G

And the moon is the only light we'll see

         G

No I won't be afraid

     Em

No I won't be afraid

           C            D           G

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

 

[Chorus]

                     G

So darling, darling, stand by me

   Em

Oh stand by me

   C    D            G

Oh stand, stand by me

 

Stand by me

 

[Verse 2]

         G

If the sky that we look upon

Em

   Should tumble and fall

            C          D              G

Or the mountain should crumble to the sea

          G

I won't cry, I won't cry

      Em

No I won't shed a tear

           C            D           G

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

 


 

 

[Chorus]

                      G

And darling, darling, stand by me

   Em

Oh stand by me

    C        D            G

Oh stand now, stand by me

 

Stand by me

[Chorus]

                     G

So darling, darling, stand by me

   Em

Oh stand by me

    C               D

Oh stand now, stand by me

      G

Stand by me

 

                                     G                Em

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh stand by me

    C              D             G

Oh stand now, oh, stand, stand by me
