Capo II

[Intro]
A#  Gm  D#  F  A#

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

[Chorus]
                       A#
So, darling, darling, stand by me,
     Gm
Oh, stand by me.
     D#   F             A#
Oh, stand, stand by me,

Stand by me.

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

[Chorus]
                       A#
And darling, darling, stand by me,
     Gm
Oh, stand by me.
     D#       F              A#
Oh, stand now, stand by me,

Stand by me.

[Interlude]
A#  Gm  D#  F  A#  2x

[Chorus]
                       A#
So, darling, darling, stand by me,
     Gm
Oh, stand by me.
     D#               F
Oh, stand now, stand by me,
      A#
Stand by me.

[Outro]

Whenever you're in trouble
           A#                Gm
won't you stand by me, oh, stand by me
     D#              F             A#
Oh, stand now, oh, stand, stand by me
