INTRO:
C5 A5 F5 G5 C5

C5                       A5
when the night has come,   and the land is dark
        F5           G5              C5
and the moon is the only light we see
C5                             A5
No I won?t, be afraid, ohhh I won?t be afraid
        F5            G5               C5
just as long, as you stand, stand by me


CHORUS:
C5                                     A5
so darlin darlin stand by me,   oh oh stand by me
   F5       G5             C5
oh stand,    stand by me,  stand by me


C5                       A5
if the sky we look upon,   should tumble and fall
       F5                 G5               C5
or the mountains, should crumble, to the sea
C5                            A5
i wont cry, i wont cry, no i wont shed a tear
        F5            G5               C5
just as long, as you stand, stand by me
