[Intro]
 
G    B7    C  C/B  D
G    B7    C  C/B  D
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G                          B7            C          C/B              D
  Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday, I've got a lot of things to learn
G                         B7                 C             C/B       D
  Said I would and I'd be leaving one day, before my heart starts to burn
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
C                           D
  So what's the matter with you?
G         G/F#      Em
  Sing me something new
                   A7                                      C
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know, they only seem to come
        D
and go away
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                                 B7                C            C/B          D
  Times are hard when things have got no meaning, I've found the key upon the floor
G                      B7                  C                C/B      D
  Maybe you and I will not believe in, the things we find behind the door
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
C                           D
  So what's the matter with you?
G         G/F#      Em
  Sing me something new
                   A7                                      C
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know, they only seem to come
        D
and go away
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G          D
  Stand by me
        Am                          C  F  D/F#
Nobody knows, the way it's gonna be
G          D

[Verse 3]
 
G                            B7                    C                C/B   D
  If you're leaving will you take me with you, I'm tired of talking on my phone
G                          B7                 C                C/B     D
  There is one thing I can never give you, my heart will never be your home

Great tab man, but you do have some mistakes: 1. In the bridge, it's not A7, it's A. 2. In the "They only seem to come and go" part, it's not just C, it's C, and right after, comes C/B. 3. In the Chorus, it's not D/F#, it's just D. 4. At the end of the chorus, your'e not playing Am at "Nobody knows", Youre playing C, and you staying on that chord. 5. Right before the G at the end of the chorus ("The way it's gonna be"), youre playing D. That's about it, great tab!

I agree with points 1, 3 and 5. At point number 2 you say that there's a C/B after the C which I just cant hear and I've never seen noel playing it. (watch the "acoustic by the pool" vid to clear things up). Point number 4 aint true. He has tabbed that well, you hold Am then you change to C. dont you know the cold and wind and rain dont know? they only seem to come and go away!
