If you want to play the chords, 
instead of the fingerpicking you can
 play them as showed here.
I found these chords like they 
described here sounded the best to 
the original recording.
You can also play them without the 
pinky finger on the high G.

    G    Em   C    D
E|-3----3----3----2--| 
B|-3----0----0----3--| 
G|-0----0----0----2--| 
D|-0----2----2----0--| 
A|-2----2----3-------| 
E|-3----0------------| 


[Intro]
G    Em   C  D   N.C.

[Verse 1]
           G
When the night has come
Em
  And the land is dark
          C          D              
 G   N.C
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            D          
Just as long as you stand, stand by 
G
me.

[Verse 2]
          G
If the sky that we look upon
Em
  Should tumble and fall
          C            D          
Or the mountain should crumble to 
    G
the sea,
          G
I won't cry, I won't cry,
      Em
No, I won't shed a tear
         C            D           
Just as long as you stand, stand by 
G
me.

[Chorus]
                       G
And, darling, darling, stand by me,
    Em
Oh, stand by me.

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

   G                Em
