[Intro]
C  Am  F  G  C

[Verse]
         C
When the night has come
Am
  And the land is dark
        F           G                C
And the moon is the only light we'll see
      C
No, I won't be afraid,
      Am
No, I won't be afraid
        F            G             C
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.

[Chorus]
                       C
So, darling, darling, stand by me,
     Am
Oh, stand by me.
     F   G             C
Oh, stand, stand by me,

Stand by me.

[Verse]
        C
If the sky that we look upon
Am
  Should tumble and fall
       F               G              C
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea,
        C
I won't cry, I won't cry,
      Am
No, I won't shed a tear
        F            G             C
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.

[Chorus]
                       C
And darling, darling, stand by me,
     Am
Oh, stand by me.
     F       G              C
Oh, stand now, stand by me,

Stand by me.

[Interlude]
C  Am  F  G  C  2x

[Chorus]
                       C
So, darling, darling, stand by me,
     Am
Oh, stand by me.
     F               G
Oh, stand now, stand by me,
      C
Stand by me.

[Outro]

Whenever you're in trouble
           C                Am
won't you stand by me, oh, stand by me
     F              G             C
Oh, stand now, oh, stand, stand by me
