          A#                Gm       
When the night has come a nd the land is dark 
         D#            F               A#  
And the moon is the only light we'll see  
      A#                     Gm  
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid  
         D#            F          A#  
Just as long as you stand, stand by me  
A#                                              Gm  
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me  
        D#     F             A#  
Oh now stand,   stand by me,   stand by me.  
        A#                     Gm  
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall  
          D#                F             A#  
And the mountains should crumble to the sea  
         A#                      Gm  
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear  
         D#            F          A#  
Just as long as you stand, stand by me  
A#                                              Gm  
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me  
        D#     F             A#  
Oh now stand,   stand by me,   stand by me.  
A#                                                              Gm  
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me  
        D#     F             A#  
Oh now stand,   stand by me,   stand by me.  
A#                                              Gm  
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me  
        D#     F             A#  
Oh now stand,   stand by me,   stand by me
