[Verse 1]
GGEmEm
When the night has come and the land is dark
CDGG
and the moon is the only light we'll see.
GGEmEm
No, I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid,
CDGG*
just as long as you stand, stand by me. So, darling, darling,
[Chorus]
GGEmEm
stand by me, oh, won't you stand by me.
CDGG
Oh, stand now, stand by me, stand by me.
[Verse 2]
GGEmEm
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
CDGG
or the mountain should crumble to the sea,
GGEmEm
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear
CDGG*
just as long as you stand, stand by me. And darling, darling,
[End-Chorus]
GGEmEm
stand by me, oh, won't you stand by me.
CDGG
Oh, stand now, stand by me, stand by me.
GGEmEm
Oh, darling, won't you stand, stand, stand
CDGG
by me, stand by me, stand by me.
