          Bb                Gm       
When the night has come a nd the land is dark 
         D#            F               Bb  
And the moon is the only light we'll see  
      Bb                     Gm  
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid  
         D#            F          Bb  
Just as long as you stand, stand by me  
Bb                                              Gm  
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me

Oh now stand, stand by me, stand by me.  
        Bb                     Gm  
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall  
          D#                F             Bb  
And the mountains should crumble to the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear  
         D#            F          Bb  
Just as long as you stand, stand by me  
Bb                                              Gm  
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me

Oh now stand, stand by me, stand by me.

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