            G          Em
When the night has come and the land is dark
           C         D               G
and the moon is the only light we'll see
        G                   Em
No, I won't be afraid, oh I won't be afraid
          C            D           G
just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling, stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
 
 
[Verse]

If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
           C           D              G
or the mountain should crumble to the sea
          G                      Em
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
          C            D           G
just as long as you stand, stand by me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                      G                  Em
And darling, darling, stand by me, oh stand by me
      C      D            G
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me

Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
 
Whenever you're in trouble would you
G                  Em
stand by me, oh stand by me
                 C             D           G
Oh, would you stand now, oh stand, stand by me
