Intro: A  F#m  D  E  A  E

A
 When the night has come
F#m
 And the land is dark
              D           E
 And the moon is the only
                 A
 Light we'll see
 No I won't be afraid
    F#m
 No, I won't be afraid
              D            E
 Just as long as you stand
             A E
 Stand by me
A
 And darling, darling stand by me
                 F#m
 Oh, now, now, now,
 Stand by me
D                   E
 Stand, stand by me
             A
 Stand by me

 If the sky that we look upon
F#m
 Should trumble and fall
     D                    E
 And the mountains should crumble
        A
 In the sea
 I won't cry, I won't cry
   F#m
 No, I     won't shed a tear
              D            E
 Just as long as you stand
             A
 Stand by me
 And darling, darling stand by me
   F#m
 Oh, stand by me
D            E
 Stand by me

 Whenever you're in trouble
                 A

         F#m
 Oh, now, now stand by me
  D
 Oh, stand by me
  E
 Stand by me
  A           E
