G          | G          | Em         | Em         |
C          | D          | G          | G          |

[Verse 1]
         G         G    Em                Em
When the night has come   and the land is dark
        C           D                G      G
and the moon is the only light we'll see.
      G         G            Em          Em
No, I won't be afraid, no, I   won't be afraid,
        C           D               G       G*
just as long as you stand, stand by me. So, darling, darling, 

[Chorus]
G        G                 Em         Em
stand by me, oh, won't you   stand by me.
    C          D              G            G
Oh, stand now,   stand by me,   stand by me.

[Verse 2]
       G                G    Em                  Em
If the sky that we look upon   should tumble and fall
       C               D              G         G
or the mountain 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, 

[End-Chorus]
G        G                 Em       Em
stand by me, oh, won't you stand by   me.
    C            D              G            G
Oh,   stand now,   stand by me,   stand by me.
    G        G           Em            Em
Oh, darling,   won't you stand, stand, stand
   C   D              G              G
by me,   stand by me,   stand by me.
