{c:verse 1}
When the [G]night has come, [Em]and the land is dark
And the [C]moon is the [D]only light we'll [G]see.
No, I won't be afraid, no, I [Em]won't be afraid,
Just as [C]long as you [D]stand, stand by [G]me. (So, darling, darling)
{soc}
[G]Stand by me, oh, [Em]stand by me.
Oh, [C]stand, [D]stand by me, [G]stand by me.
{eoc}
{c:verse 2}
If the [G]sky that we look [Em]upon should tumble and fall,
Or the [C]mountain should [D]crumble to the [G]sea.
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I [Em]won't shed a tear,
Just as [C]long as you [D]stand, stand by [G]me. (So, darling, darling)
{soc}
[G]Stand by me, oh, [Em]stand by me.
Oh, [C]stand, [D]stand by me, [G]stand by me. (Whenever you’re in trouble won’t you)
[G]Stand by me, oh, [Em]stand by me.
Oh, [C]stand, [D]stand by me, [G]stand by me
{eoc}
