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

stand by me,     stand by        me.

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

stand by me,     stand by        me.
