When the [A]night has come
[F#m]And the land is dark
And the [D]moon is the [E]only light we'll [A]see
No I won't be afraid, no I [F#m]won't be afraid
Just as [D]long as you [E]stand, stand by [A]me
And [A]darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh [F#m]stand by me
Oh [D]Stand [E]Stand by me, [A]stand by me
If the [A]sky that we look upon
[F#m]Should tum- ble and fall
And the [D]mountains should [E]crumble to the [A]sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I [F#m]won't shed a tear
Just as [D]long as you [E]stand, stand by [A]me
And [A]darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh [F#m]stand by me
Oh [D]Stand now [E]Stand by me, [A]stand by me
Whenever [A]you're in trouble won't you stand by me
[F#m]Oh now stand by me
Oh [D]Stand now [E]Stand by me, [A]stand by me
