Capo VIII

[Intro]
E  C#m  A  B  E

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

[Chorus]
                       E
So, darling, darling, stand by me,
     C#m
Oh, stand by me.
     A   B             E
Oh, stand, stand by me,

Stand by me.

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

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

Stand by me.

[Interlude]
E  C#m  A  B  E  2x

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

[Outro]

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