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


[Chorus 1]
C             C             Am        Am
stand by me,       oh now   stand by   me,
F             G             C          C
stand by me,     stand by        me.


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


[Chorus 2]
C             C             Am        Am
stand by me,       oh now   stand by   me,
F             G             C          C
stand by me,     stand by        me.


[Solo]
C        C       Am     Am
F        G       C       C
C        C       Am     Am
F        G       C       C


[Chorus 3]
C             C             Am         Am
Stand by me,       oh now   stand by    me,
F             G             C           C
stand by me,     stand by        me.
