[Verse 1]

         A               F#m
When the night, has come. And the land is dark.
        D            E7               A
And the moon, is the only light we'll see.
     A                     F#m
Oh I won't, be afraid, no I won't be afraid
        D           E7              A
just as long as you stand, stand by me.


[Chorus]

                      A
And darling, darling, stand by me
            F#m
Oh nah, nah, stand by me
D            E         A
 Stand by me, stand by me


[Verse 2]

       A                      F#m
If the sky, that we look upon, should tumble and fall.
        D                E7             A
And the mountains should crumble to the sea.
        A                      F#m
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
        D           E7              A
just as long as you stand, stand by me


[Chorus]

                      A
And darling, darling, stand by me
            F#m
Oh nah, nah, stand by me
D            E            A
 Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-ee yeah
