Stand By Me by Ben E King

The first two notes are a upbeat to the first measure.
Do not play them when repeating, they are already included in the last measure.

This is how I personally like to play the song, with chords to support the bass line.

Keep repeating the tab till the end of the song


If you don't like it this way, you can find the original bass line below
I just think it sounds a bit "lonely", if you know what I mean.
