[Intro]
G  G  Em  Em
C  D  G  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
         G
When the night has come
Em
  And the land is dark
        C           D             G
And the moon is the only light we see
     G                    Em
No I won't be afraid, no I  won't be afraid
        C           D               G
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
 
 
[Chorus]
   G                 G                Em
So darlin', darlin', stand by me, ooh stand by me
       C            D            G
Oh yeah stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
 
 
[Verse 2]
       G
If the sky that we look upon
Em
  Should tumble and fall
       C                D              G
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
        G                     Em
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I  won't shed a tear
        C           D               G
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
 
 
[Chorus]
   G                 G               Em
So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
       C            D            G
Oh yeah stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
