Verse #1:
         A         A
When the night has come
F#m               F#m
 And the land is dark
        D           E                A    A
And the moon is the only light we'll see
      A        A           F#m       F#m
No I won't be afraid, oh I won't be afraid
        D            E              A  
Just as long as you stand, stand by me


Chorus:
   A                  A       A       F#m     F#m
So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me 
    D    E           A             A
oh stand, stand by me, stand by me


Verse #2:
        A                A
If the sky that we look upon
F#m                F#m
 Should tumble and fall
        D                E              A    A
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
        A            A         F#m          F#m
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
        D            E              A
Just as long as you stand, stand by me


Chorus:
    A                  A       A       F#m     F#m
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me 
    D    E           A             A
oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

Chorus:
A                  A       A       F#m     F#m
Darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me 
    D      E            A
oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
    A                                 A       A       F#m     F#m
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh stand by me
    D         E              A 
Oh stand, oh stand, stand by me
