Stand By Me chords
John Lennon (Ben E. King) *

A F#m D E A

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

A                                             F#m
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
D            E        A
Stand by me, stand by me

A
When the sky that we look upon
F#m
Should tumble and fall
        D                E              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                          E        A
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

A                                             F#m
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
D            E        A
Stand by me, stand by me

A F#m D E A 2x

A                                                    F#m
When ever you re in trouble, stand by me, oh now now stand by me
D            E        A
Stand by me, stand by me

A                                             F#m
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
D            E        A
Stand by me, stand by me . . .

(talking)

A                                                    F#m
When ever you re in trouble, stand by me, oh now now stand by me
D            E        A
Stand by me, stand by me
