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


[Chorus 1]
G             G             Em        Em
stand by me,       oh now   stand by   me,
C             D             G          G
stand by me,     stand by        me.

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


[Chorus 2]
G             G             Em        Em
stand by me,       oh now   stand by   me,
C             D             G          G
stand by me,     stand by        me.


[Solo]
G        G       Em     Em
C        D       G       G
G        G       Em     Em
C        D       G       G


[Chorus 3]
G             G             Em         Em
Stand by me,       oh now   stand by    me,
C             D             G           G
stand by me,     stand by        me.
