When the night has come
Am
And the land is dark
        F           G                C
And the moon is the only light we'll see
C                          Am
No I won't be afraid, oh I won't be afraid
        F           G               C
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
 

C                                    Am
So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me 
   F     G             C
oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

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

C                                     Am
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me 
   F        G              C
oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
