Capo VI

[Intro]
F#  D#m  B  C#  F#

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

[Chorus]
                       F#
So, darling, darling, stand by me,
     D#m
Oh, stand by me.
     B   C#             F#
Oh, stand, stand by me,

Stand by me.

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

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

Stand by me.

[Interlude]
F#  D#m  B  C#  F#  2x

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

[Outro]

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