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


[Chorus 1]
A#             A#             Gm        Gm
stand by me,       oh now   stand by   me,

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

A#             A#             Gm        Gm
stand by me,       oh now   stand by   me,
D#             F             A#          A#
stand by me,     stand by        me.
