Intro G  Em  C  D  G 

 

G                             Em7 
When the night has come, and the land is dark 
        C               D              G 
And the moon is the only light you see 
G                          Em7 
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid 
        C             D          G 
Just as long as you stand, stand by me 

 

G 
Oh darling, darling, stand by me 
   Em7                  C           D  G 
Oh stand by me, Oh Stand, Stand by me 



G                       Em7 
If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall 
          C                 D                   G 
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea 
G                       Em 
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear 
C            D                       G 
Just as long as you stand, stand by me 



G 
Oh darling, darling, stand by me 
Em         Em7                  C       D       G 
Oh stand, stand by me, Oh stand by me 

 

G 
Whenever your in trouble you just stand by me 
Em              C       D       G 
Oh stand by me, Oh stand by me 

( G  Em7  C  D  G ) 
( Em  Em7  C  D  G ) 

 

G 
Whenever your in trouble you just stand by me 
       Em                       C       D       G 
Oh stand by me,  Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me 

Final 

G 
 Oh darling, darling, stand by me 
Em                 C         D         G 
Oh stand by me, Oh stand, stand by me 
G 
Stand by me, stand by me
