Intro: C  Am7  F  G  C 

          C 
When the night has come 
Am7 
  And the land is dark 
          F          G            C 
And the moon is the only light we'll see 
       C 
No, I won't be afraid 
      Am7 
No, I won't be afraid 
         F            G              C 
Just as long as you stand, stand by me 

So darling, darling 
  C              Am7 
Stand by me, oh stand by me 
         F            G             C 
Just as long as you stand, stand by me 

         C 
If the sky that we look upon 
Am7 
  Should tumble and fall 
        F                G             C 
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea 
         C 
No, I won't, I won't cry 
       Am7 
No, I won't shed a tear 
         F            G              C 
Just as long as you stand, stand by me 

So darling, darling 
  C              Am7 
Stand by me, oh stand by me 
       F       G           C 
Oh stand, oh oh stand by me, stand by me 
                                     C               Am7 
Whenever you're in trouble you can stand by me, oh, stand by me 
         F            G             C 
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
