         C
When the night has come
Am
And the land is dark
         F           G                 C
And the moon is the only light we'll see
        C
No, I won't be afraid
      Am
No, I won't be afraid
         F            G             C
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

C            Am       C
So, darling, darling, stand by me
    Am
Oh, stand by me
    F               G            C
Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me

         C
If the sky that we look upon
Am
Should tumble and fall
            F         G                 C
Or the mountain should crumble in the sea
          C
I won't cry, I won't cry
      Am
No, I won't shed a tear
            F            G             C
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

C            Am       C
So, darling, darling, stand by me
    Am
Oh, stand by me
    F               G            C
Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me
