When the night has come
F#m
And the land is dark
D E7 A
And the moon is the only light we see

No I won’t be afraid
F#m
No I won’t be afraid
D E7 A
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
A
And darling, darling stand by me

[Verse 2]
F#m
Oh, now, now, stand by me
D E7 A
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
F#m
Should tumble and fall
D E7 A
And the mountain should crumble to the sea

I won’t cry, I won’t cry
F#m
No I won’t shed a tear
D E7 A
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me

Oh, now, now, stand by me
D E7 A
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
