A                       F#m
When the night has come

And the land is dark
         D             E            A
And the moon is the only light we see

No i won't be afraid
       F#m
Oh i won't be afraid
         D
Just as long
         E              A
As you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling stand by me
     F#m
Oh stand by me
     D   E            A
Oh stand, stand by me

Stand by me

A
If the sky
                  F#m
That we look upon

Should tumble and fall
          D
And the mountains
         E
Should crumble
        A
To the sea

I won't cry, i won't cry
      F#m
No i won't shed a tear
         D
Just as long
         E              A
As you stand, stand by me


And darling, darling stand by me
     F#m
Oh stand by me
     D   E            A
Oh stand, stand by me

Stand by me

Oh stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble

Won't you stand by me
