AGbm D E A A When the night has come Gbm And the land is dark D E A And the moon is the only light we'll see A Gbm No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid D E A Just as long as you stand, stand by me A Gbm And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me D E A Stand by me, stand by me A If the sky that we look upon Gbm Should tumble and fall D E A And the mountains should crumble to the sea A Gbm 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 A Gbm And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me D E A Stand by me, stand by me A Gbm And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me D E A Stand by me, stand by me

Please do not ask for strumming patterns. Sharing online how to literally play a song (i.e. strumming, rhythm and tempo) is not allowed by the MPA (Music Publishers Association) because of copyright issues.
Carefully listen to the song and try to really "feel" the rhythm. Once you get the basics of strumming, I can assure you it'll go real quick. Maybe the strumming guide can help you on your way.

Replacing G with G7 sounds better.
Also, strumming pattern is DDUUDU.
replacing E with E7 sounds quite nice,,
ACTUALLY the last verse is supposed to say: whenever your in trouble wont you stand by me.
This song sounds so good on the ukulele!!!?
This site helps so much!!!!!!!!!!!?
love this song!! this site helps so much!!?
Why do people always say that
This is more a note for me than anyone else, but if you can understand it, this is a simple version of the riff for the start of the song.
E – 045X5045X5542X202X220XXXXX20X0X045X5X045X5
C – XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX2X2X2XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Thank you so much! Very helpful. Was trying to find it on the internet but couldn’t find it.
Strumming please! D:
I think…
??????
(Repeat)
dd uu du
DDUUDU
For the E chord you can play 1×02 (x = mute)
I recommend transposing to +3 it is much easier and sounds better(in my opinion).
have fun playing this amazing song that we are so blessed to have! What do people do for the strumming pattern? I made up my own to go with the song.
On the E string you can do 3788 2x
8755 355 3511 1533 and it will sound like the beginning part of the song
+3 is easier and brighter
I agree! Justinguitar’s tutorial also has G7 for over the bit where it goes “so darling, darling “. ?
F#m should be used, not Gbm. A is a sharp key; flats are not used. It’s important to think in keys. And to those who do, this is problematic to read. Please correct.
FOR ANYONE STRUGGLING WITH THE E CHORD
I play it with my pointer finger on first fret G string, my middle finger on fourth fret A string, and my ring finger on fourth fret C string. It’s a bit hard at first but if you practice transitioning between E and other chords, you’ll get it in no time. If you don’t know the strings, look up a ukulele string chart.
YES!! I am a lot.
But I I tried just skipping all the E’s and it still sounds pretty good. ?
Thaks a lot, nice
