           G#
When the night has come
Fm
And the land is dark
         C#         D#                G#
And the moon is the only light we'll see
       G#
No, I won't be afraid,
      Fm
No, I won't be afraid
         C#           D#             G#
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.

Chorus:
                       G#
So, darling, darling, stand by me,
     Fm
Oh, stand by me.
     C#   D#          G#
Oh, stand, stand by me,
Stand by me.

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

Chorus - x2

Whenever you're in trouble,
won't you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, oh, stand
Stand by me
