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

So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me 
   C     D             G
oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

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

G                                     Em
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me 
   C        D              G
oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
