Capo I

[Intro]
B  G#m  E  F#  B

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

[Chorus]
                       B
So, darling, darling, stand by me,
     G#m
Oh, stand by me.
     E   F#             B
Oh, stand, stand by me,

Stand by me.

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

[Chorus]
                       B
And darling, darling, stand by me,
     G#m
Oh, stand by me.
     E       F#              B
Oh, stand now, stand by me,

Stand by me.

[Interlude]
B  G#m  E  F#  B  2x

[Chorus]
                       B
So, darling, darling, stand by me,
     G#m
Oh, stand by me.
     E               F#
Oh, stand now, stand by me,
      B
Stand by me.

[Outro]

Whenever you're in trouble
           B                G#m
won't you stand by me, oh, stand by me
     E              F#             B
Oh, stand now, oh, stand, stand by me
