Intro: G Em C D7 throughout!  
            

            G 
When the night has come  
Em 
And the land is dark  
         C           D7               G   D7 
And the moon is the only light we'll see 
       G 
No I won't be afraid  
      Em  
No I won't be afraid  
          C           D7            G    D7  
Just as long as you stand, stand by me  

And darling, darling  
G 
Stand by me  
         Em               C 
Oh now, now, stand by me  
D7  
 Stand by me  
G             D7 
 Stand by me  
        G                     Em 
If the sky that we look upon  
Should tumble and fall  
And the mountain should crumble to the sea  
I won't cry, I won't cry  
No I won't shed a tear  
Just as long as you stand, stand by me  

And darling, darling  
Stand by me  
Stand by me  
Stand by me  
Stand by me  

Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me  
Oh now, now, stand by me  
Stand by me  
Stand by me  
Stand by me  

And darling, darling  
Stand by me  
Stand by me  
Stand by me  
Stand by me
