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


[Chorus 1]
E             E             C#m        C#m
stand by me,       oh now   stand by   me,
A             B             E          E
stand by me,     stand by        me.


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


[Chorus 2]
E             E             C#m        C#m
stand by me,       oh now   stand by   me,
A             B             E          E
stand by me,     stand by        me.


[Solo]
E        E       C#m     C#m
A        B       E       E
E        E       C#m     C#m
A        B       E       E


[Chorus 3]
E             E             C#m         C#m
Stand by me,       oh now   stand by    me,
A             B             E           E
stand by me,     stand by        me.
