[Verse 1]
               A               A              F#m                        F#m
When the night      has come                       and the land is da-   rk
               D               E              A               A
And the mo-    on is the on-   ly light we'll see
               A               A              F#m             F#m
No, I wo -     n't be af-      raid, no, I    won't be af-    raid
               D               E              A               A
Just as        long as you st- and, stand by  me.          So darlin', darlin'


[Chorus 1]
A             A             F#m        F#m
stand by me,       oh now   stand by   me,
D             E             A          A
stand by me,     stand by        me.


[Verse 2]
               A               A              F#m                   F#m
If the sky     that we look up-on                 should tumble and fall
               D               E              A            A
And the mount- ain      should crumble to the sea
               A               A              F#m          F#m
I won't cry,       I won't cry,    no, I      won't shed a tear
               D               E              A        A
Just as long      as you stand,    stand by   me.  And darling, darling


[Chorus 2]
A             A             F#m        F#m
stand by me,       oh now   stand by   me,
D             E             A          A
stand by me,     stand by        me.


[Solo]
A        A       F#m     F#m
D        E       A       A
A        A       F#m     F#m
D        E       A       A


[Chorus 3]
A             A             F#m         F#m
Stand by me,       oh now   stand by    me,
D             E             A           A
stand by me,     stand by        me.
