[Verse]
 
        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                 Am
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
         F          G      C
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
 
 
[Refrain]
 
                         C                   Am
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
 
  F              G
Stand by me, stand by me
 
 
[Verse]
 
       C
If the sky that we look upon
         Am
Should tumble and fall
      F                  G        C
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
        C                 Am
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
         F          G      C
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
 
 
[Refrain]
 
                         C                   Am
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
 
  F              G
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
 
 
                        C                   Am
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
F              G
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
 
 
                        C                   Am
Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
F              G
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Yess, great job. I'm thinking about adding the bass line as a tab on top of this song. This song has a great bass line and in the C-chord it's amazing good to play.
