Intro:  A  Bm  D E 

A 
When the night has come 
Bm 
And the land is dark 
D                    E               A 
And the moon is the only light we'll see 
A                         Bm 
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid 
D                  E                A 
Just as long as you stand, stand by me 

 
                     A                  Bm 
And darling, darling stand by me, oh now now Stand by me 
D           E             A 
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me 

A 
If the sky that we look upon 
Bm 
Should tumble and fall 
D                  E                    A 
And the mountains should crumble to the sea 
A                              Bm 
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear 
D               E                   A 
Just as long as you stand, stand by me 


                     A                 Bm 
And darling, darling stand by me, oh now now Stand by me 
D           E               A 
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
