Capo III

[Intro]
A  F#m  D  E  A

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

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

Stand by me.

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

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

Stand by me.

[Interlude]
A  F#m  D  E  A  2x

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

[Outro]

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