[Verse]

         G             Em
When the night has come and the land is dark
        C           D                G
And the moon is the only light we'll see
     G                        Em
No I won't be afraid, no I, I won't be afraid
        C           D               G
Just as long as you stand, stand by me


[Chorus]

                      G
And darling, darling, stand by me
            Em
Oh nah, nah, stand by me
C            D         G
 Stand by me, stand by me


[Verse]

        G                   Em
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
        C                D              G
and the mountains should crumble to the sea
        G                          Em
I won't cry. I won't cry,  no I, 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 nah, nah, stand by me
C            D            G
 Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-ee yeah

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

Oh nah, nah, stand by me
    C            D            G
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darling, darling, stand by me - hee
