I'll Stand By You Songwriters: Chrissie Hynde,Tom Kelly, and Billy Steinberg Key of D with change to C and back to D This is a great song for working on changing from basic bar chords throughout the song. This is taken directly from the piano sheet music and I arranged it for guitar. Everything should be correct, some of the chord placements may be a hair off due to program spacing. Good luck and rock on! Joker0ne~ Intro: D Bm A G Verse: D F#m Oh, why you look so sad?
