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   
        D         D7 
And darling, darling 
G   
Stand by me   
              Em   
Oh now, now, stand by me   
C   
 Stand by me   
D   
 Stand by me   
G   
 Stand by me   
         G 
If the sky that we look upon   
Em 
    Should tumble and fall 
              C                         D                     G 
And 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   
        D         D7 
And darling, darling   
G 
Stand by me   
Em 
Stand by me   
C 
Stand by me   
D 
Stand by me   

Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me   
Oh now, now, stand by me   
Stand by me   
Stand by me   
Stand by me   

And darling, darling   
Stand by me   
Stand by me   
Stand by me   
Stand by me
