A5                       F#5
When the night has come

And the land is dark
         D5             E5            A5
And the moon is the only light we see

No i won't be afraid
       F#5
Oh i won't be afraid
         D5
Just as long
         E5              A5
As you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling stand by me
     F#5
Oh stand by me
     D5   E5            A5
Oh stand, stand by me

Stand by me


A5
If the sky
                  F#5
That we look upon

Should tumble and fall
          D5
And the mountains
         E5
Should crumble
        A5
To the sea

I won't cry, i won't cry
      F#5
No i won't shed a tear
         D5
Just as long
         E5              A5
As you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
     F#5
Oh stand by me
     D5   E5            A5
Oh stand, stand by me

Stand by me
