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


[Chorus 1]

stand by me,       oh now   stand by   me,

stand by me,     stand by        me.

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


[Chorus 2]
B             B             G#m        G#m
stand by me,       oh now   stand by   me,
E             F#             B          B
stand by me,     stand by        me.
